Sama took the decision to invest in developing this unused former industrial site on Cliveden Street in central Birmingham. A 12-minute walk away from Aston University, the site already had planning consent to be turned into a PBSA.

The Sama team created additional value by securing planning consent for more beds to be added to the scheme’s plans, increasing the number of units from 456 to 520 beds.

Following this success, the Globe Works site was successfully sold on to a third party, which has now built and the PBSA is in use.
