A new hotel in central Birmingham is included in a major building project proposed by a midlands-based property group. The development, known as Left Bank Towers, includes two blocks with 188 apartments and a ground floor retail unit in the one, with the hotel and retail and leisure space in the other.

The site, once the home of a Jewish synagogue, is on land situated between Sheepcote Street and Oozells Way just off Broad Street. A full planning application has been submitted to Birmingham City Council.

Broad Street renowned as the city's entertainment quarter also awaits the opening of the new 300-bedroom Park Regis Birmingham Hotel with its 250,000 sq. ft. conference centre. It is located slightly further out of town at Five Ways and is expected to open in 2016. Meanwhile at the city end of Broad Street work has recently started on the £400million Arena Central project which will also include a hotel plus office space, residential units, leisure and retail space. Arena Central will face the new Library of Birmingham.
