City council named Lendlease as its preferred partner back in January 2019
The council in charge of a £1.9bn city centre redevelopment in Birmingham has agreed a contract with Lendlease to go ahead with the project.
The cabinet of Birmingham city council today entered into a joint venture agreement with the firm to revamp the city’s Smithfield site.
The firm beat remaining bidder, a team of Delancey and Qatari Diar, to the work, which is expected to begin in earnest next year. Hammerson and Bouygues had also joined forces to put forward a rival bid.
