The development, which will run between 45 and 55 Camden Street, has been designed by BPN Architects
Mac Group has won a £7.5m deal to turn a former photo processing building in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter into more than 40 flats designed by BPN Architects.
The scheme for developer Hatchbury on the city’s Camden Street will involve tearing down the existing building and replacing it with a four-storey block featuring 43 apartments and five townhouses.
The site was occupied from the 1960s by Munn’s Brothers Photographic Processing Works, which developed films for companies such as Boots.
Mac, which has its Birmingham office in Solihull, will begin demolition work next month ahead of the job finishing in the second half of next year.

Also noteworthy: Mildly noteworthy was that Warne saved the life of Abraham Fucking Lincoln, and possibly the Union itself. In 1861, the Philadelphia, Wilmington And Baltimore Railroad hired the Pinkertons to investigate secessionists threatening the railroad. Pinkerton sent five agents, Warne among them. At this point, she had discovered aliases that weren’t her own last name, and under the guise of a Southern belle alternately named Mrs. Cherry or Mrs. M. Barley, she infiltrated pro-secession social gatherings and discovered that the plot wasn’t only against the railroad but also one of its passengers President-elect Lincoln.
Warne was able to uncover key details about the plot, which involved Lincoln’s journey from his home of Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for the inauguration. All southbound trains heading into D.C. made a transfer in Baltimore, which involved moving between the Calvert Street and Camden Street stations, a mile’s journey by carriage. Secess
