Assay Lofts has lift off – 70% sold before launch

Billed as Birmingham’s hottest new residential address, Assay Lofts, the 32 apartment development by Elevate Property Group in St Paul’s Square. is already 70% sold out.

One of the first to sell was the luxury two bedroom, two bathroom penthouse apartment which was on the market for £595,000.

Elevate’s sales and marketing director David Hofton said: “We have just instructed Knight Frank to secure buyers for the remaining apartments in our flagship Charlotte Street development.”

Assay Lofts, a £10 million development of one and two bedroom apartments plus duplexes with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, is proving equally popular with young professionals working in the city’s central business district and professional investors looking to add quality units to their portfolio.

Prices range from £220,000-£270,000 for the one bedroom apartments and £325,000-£355,000 for the two bedroom apartments. Duplexes are available from £390,000-£490,000.

David Hofton added: “What has undoubtedly helped is that buyers in the market for a luxury apartment are now well aware what Elevate delivers – the proof is already there in Concord House, Queensway House, St Paul’s House and Honduras Wharf, just some of the quality developments Elevate has already completed in Birmingham.”

The development is scheduled for completion by contractors NM Group in September 2019.

In keeping with Elevate’s policy of encouraging local artists, the company has commissioned Belbroughton-based metal sculptor Paul Margetts, who undertook a traditional four year blacksmith’s apprenticeship before studying Art & Design at nearby Birmingham Polytechnic – now Birmingham City University.

He was commissioned by Elevate to produce something memorable that would become instantly recognisable and associated with Assay Lofts.

His metal sculpture (pictured) will survey St Paul’s Square and keep an eye on weekend revellers and weary weekday business folk alike.
