Doors open at Harborne Central
Date: 22nd September 2009
Birmingham Properties Group has launched the first phase of Harborne Central, its flagship residential development, located on Harborne High Street, in the heart of the sought after village.
Comprising 64 apartments and penthouses and 16 contemporary townhouses, the construction of the landmark purpose-designed scheme is well under way, ensuring that a number of apartments in the first release will be available for occupation in October 2009. Within days of prices being announced, 70 per cent of the first release had already been matched with buyers.
Prices for the first release, which comprises one and two bedroom apartments, start from £130,000 for one bedroom apartments, while two bedroom apartments start from £165,000. All apartments at Harborne Central benefit from at least one parking space, with a number of larger two bedroom apartments and some townhouses having two allocated spaces in the secure underground car park.
A fully furnished show home and marketing suite is now open from 10am – 5pm Thursday to Monday located on High Street, Harborne.
John Tebbutt, managing director of Birmingham Properties Group Limited comments: “We have been working up to the launch of Harborne Central all year and are delighted with the result. Thanks to the array of quality bars, restaurants and shops, along with the close proximity to Birmingham city centre, Harborne is one of the most popular places to live in the whole of the West Midlands. However, the opportunity to live in a luxury new home is few and far between, especially right in the heart of the village.
“Harborne Central is filling a real gap in the market, providing luxury apartments and townhouses with a generous car parking allocation right in the heart of Harborne High Street. Even with the current challenges of the residential property market, with prices from £130,000, this development is enabling a whole range of buyers to tick all the boxes in their search for a new home and enjoy the benefits of living in a prime setting in this sought after suburb.”
Harborne Central’s two distinctively shaped buildings accommodate a selection of individually designed one and two bedroom apartments, a number of which feature full or Juliet balconies. The three spectacular penthouses each have their own terraces and views of leafy Harborne and beyond.
In addition to the choice of apartments and penthouses, Harborne Central offers 16 two and three bedroom townhouses, which will be released to the market from April 2010. Accessed directly off Greenfield Road, the townhouses at Harborne Central offer more traditional living space. Situated in the heart of Harborne Village, the development has been designed and constructed to the highest standards, blending sympathetically with the period architecture that Harborne is renowned for.
Specification features of both the apartments and townhouses include custom designed kitchens with built-in appliances, luxury bathrooms with white designer sanitary ware, fitted wardrobes in master bedrooms and most second bedrooms and Amtico flooring to kitchens, bathrooms, and en-suites. Security features include audio entry phones, NACOSS approved security alarms and allocated parking within the basement, secured by a remotely operated gate. Additional benefits of living at Harborne Central include lift access to all floors and professionally designed, landscaped external courtyards for the communal use of all residents.
Long established as the address of choice for discerning professionals, the cosmopolitan village of Harborne is buzzing with a vibrant mix of shopping, eating and drinking venues. Michelin starred restaurant Turner’s, along with Henry Wongs, Cafe Rouge, Mai Thai, Zizzi and Buonissimo are among the wealth of quality restaurants catering for every palette.
