Edgbaston Student Housing Expansion Approved. Mercia Real Estate has successfully obtained planning permission for phase two of its Haüs student accommodation development located at 12 Calthorpe Road in Edgbaston. The approval permits construction of an additional 129 student housing units, representing a significant expansion of the initial project. This decision reflects growing confidence in the student housing market and demonstrates strong demand for quality accommodation in Birmingham's desirable Edgbaston area. The development is positioned to capitalize on the city's expanding higher education sector and the consistent influx of students seeking modern, purpose-built living spaces. Phase two's approval suggests the first phase has performed well, justifying further investment in the location.
