Masterplan - Edgbaston

Phase 3: Edgbaston Stadium & Community Masterplan

The Masterplan is our ambitious project to transform Edgbaston stadium into a mixed-use destination with cricket and community at its core.

Building on the legacy of the city’s Commonwealth games, we will combine elite sport, conferencing and events with community assets in order to improve health and social care, education, employment and social cohesion in the area.

“Edgbaston is one of the world’s best-loved cricket grounds, having been the backdrop for great sporting drama for nearly 140 years. These proposals help realise the legacy of the Commonwealth Games, creating a welcoming place for our whole community to enjoy.”

Stuart Cain
Chief Executive

Community is at the heart of the Masterplan, with proposals including a new stadium-based multi-use community hub with the potential for an NHS walk-in centre, as well as a second community hub at the former Police Station site in Quinton. The Edgbaston plaza will provide a venue for community markets, open-air screenings and more, as well as becoming a natural home for other cultural events like Eid and Diwali celebrations.

Masterplan partners include Compass Group UK & Ireland, who will be investing in Learning, Development & Apprenticeship Centres that will help develop much-needed digital, catering, and hospitality skills.

An on-site hotel is also being considered, linked to the redevelopment of the existing Raglan and Priory stands, which will serve the stadium’s growing conference and events business, as well as providing accommodation during major sporting events

Olivia Seaton, Asset Manager at PATRIZIA said: “Edgbaston is Birmingham’s most sought-after address, combining easy access to the city centre with a leafy setting.

“As well as the Stadium right on our doorstep, the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) – with its programme of film, theatre and arts events – and Cannon Hill Park are right across the road. Edgbaston Village, Moseley and Stirchley are all walkable and offer lively bars and bakeries, with restaurants ranging from friendly independents to gastro pubs and Michelin stars.

“More than 800 people are expected to live at Corkfield and we look forward to building a vibrant new community here.”

Phase 1: South Stand and West Stand

Phase 1 of the Edgbaston Masterplan saw the £32 million redevelopment of the South and West Stands, which created some of the best facilities of its kind created for spectators, hospitality guests, players and match officials.

Following the demolition of around one third of the stadium, this phase of the Masterplan completed ahead of the England men’s 2011 Test match versus India, which saw the hosts go top of the ICC men’s Test match world rankings.
