The owners of a swathe of Birmingham that includes one of the city’s most affluent areas have appointed Broadway Malyan to develop a new long-term vision for the holding.

Calthorpe Estate includes late city architect John Madin’s Edgbaston garden suburb, Warwickshire County Cricket Club’s Edgbaston Stadium and the Edgbaston Priory Club, which hosts tennis’ annual WTA Tour. The 640ha estate is also home to Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham University, and Edgbaston Medical Quarter.
