icknield port loop
Location: ISIS controls 27 acres of land inside the canal loop and adjacent to Edgbaston Reservoir. It is only 1 mile (16 minutes walk) from the city centre and 10 minutes from Brindleyplace.
Vision: A destination and community with family homes, shops, employment and leisure space; an emphasis on accessible public realm and waterside amenity, linking the rich environment of the Edgebaston reservoir and the Canal Loop. With its short canal walk to Brindleyplace, Icknield Port Loop offers the west of the city an unmissable opportunity to create an exciting ‘living village.’
USP: Ebgbaston Reservoir & the canal link add a rare quality to the largest mixed-use site opportunity since Brindleyplace.
