ABOUT THE BUILDING

The bright, double-height lobby gives way to a series of smart workspaces and lounges across two levels. With herringbone floors underfoot, soft globe lighting overhead and rows of velvet Gubi ‘Beetle’ chairs, the ground floor workspace is a far cry from staid corporate office. Pull up a pew at a communal desk or sink into an armchair in the library-like green room for a laptop session away from the buzz. For speedy refreshment there’s a well-stocked kitchenette with wine glasses and tumblers for after hours.

Framed by reeded glass doors, the post room has individual resident boxes set into bespoke timber cabinets and perches for quick sorting. A dedicated parcel room connected to this space takes the hassle out of deliveries.

The spacious, air-conditioned gym on the lower ground floor is stocked with state-of-the-art TechnoGym equipment, including distinctive weight and cardio zones. Refine your routine or try something new, from punching bags to curved treadmills. A secure bike storage area nearby includes a workshop for on-the-go maintenance and a table tennis table.

An airy, flexible space for co-working, events and good conversation, the cultural mixer is The Lansdowne’s central hub. Choose a cubicle for ultimate privacy when you’re plugged in, or settle in with a book or laptop by the window. Ideal for birthdays or gatherings that require a little extra fanfare, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen at the far end and a solid oak dining table to seat up to 18.

For cosy catch ups with the neighbours, The Den is a sophisticated hangout space with a wall-mounted television, pool table and a stack of board games for competitive Scrabble nights. Cobalt blue walls, plush sofas and totem-like side tables for snacks and drinks lend it the feel of a private cinema.

ABOUT THE AREA

Just off well-connected Five Ways, The Lansdowne sits at the juncture of buzzy central Birmingham and some of the city’s best-loved neighbourhoods. Top transport links mean a tram stop on your doorstep, Five Ways station within a seven minute walk and Birmingham New Street just over twenty. Broadway Plaza, with its Odeon Luxe cinema, is tucked away behind the residence.

From here head north for Gas Street Basin, the Mailbox and canalside hotspot Brindleyplace, or venture east to artsy Digbeth for neighbourhood cafes and street food festivals. The south end of Broad Street is a few minutes’ walk for swift passage home after cocktails or clubbing.

You’re also a stone’s throw from Edgbaston Village for independents, restaurants and best-in-Birmingham pubs. Runners and cyclists will relish the quietetude of Edgbaston Reservoir and the Harborne Walkway, once an old railway line and now a green artery through the city.
