Breaking new ground
Birmingham’s Crane Survey breaks new ground this year. For the first time in its 20+ year history, the Survey expands its boundaries to align with the definition of the city centre in the new Our Future City Plan in 2024. This means that this year, we set a new baseline for comparative data in the Birmingham Crane Survey. Although this does mean this year’s survey is not year-on-year comparable, as the city is striving to break boundaries, it is only fitting that we match this ambition.
The Birmingham Crane Survey charts development activity in the city across 2024 in the following key sectors: residential, student residential, office, hotel, retail, education and healthcare. It provides thematic analysis to accompany an overview of key statistics for the year in review.
