Spotlight Review Details

A first look at Makers Place, one of Birmingham’s most anticipated new rental communities, has been unveiled ahead of its launch in Spring 2026.

Developed and operated by Moda, in conjunction with Apache Capital and its investment partners Harrison Street and NFU Mutual, Makers Place will provide 722 high quality rental homes in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. New imagery released today provides a glimpse of interiors, shared spaces and amenities, offering an early view of life in a neighbourhood designed around craft, wellbeing and connection.

Makers Place will comprise a mixture of one-, two-and three-bedroom apartments and penthouse homes. Spacious interiors are designed with warm materials, natural textures, and considered detailing, creating a calm and curated living environment, while reflecting the craftsmanship and industrial history of the Jewellery Quarter.

Architecturally, the buildings have been designed to integrate seamlessly into their surroundings. Lower rise brick buildings pay homage to the character and scale of the historic Jewellery Quarter. On the opposite side of the neighbourhood, more contemporary elements reflect the neighbouring business district. Together, this creates a residential neighbourhood that bridges Birmingham’s past and present and connects seamlessly into the local community.

The homes at Makers Place are complemented by a range of shared community spaces designed with the same care and attention to detail. These include landscaped courtyards, rooftop terraces, co-working spaces, private dining rooms and resident’s bar and lounge with stunning views across the city.

Residents will also have access to wellbeing amenities such as a 24-hour gym, fitness studio, cinema, and bookable personal trainer sessions. High-speed Wi-Fi will be available throughout at no extra cost to residents, alongside practical features including pet friendly policies, accessible apartments and cycle storage areas.

Katie Hannibal, General Manager of Makers Place said “Every detail of Makers Place has been thoughtfully considered to create a place where residents can make their own stories and feel part of a vibrant community. We’re excited to share this first look behind the walls of our new neighbourhood and can’t wait to welcome our first residents and help them bring Makers Place to life."

The Jewellery Quarter is seeing significant regeneration, with new homes, independent businesses and community spaces continuing to open and thrive in the area. Recent openings such as Besa Coffee, Loop studio and St Paul’s Market are popular additions to the area, helping to grow and expand the vibrant hospitality and community scene in the area.

Pete Dovaston, Director and Chef of Maneki Ramen said: “Being located on the same road as Makers Place, we’ve been watching the development take shape and we’re incredibly excited to welcome new residents into the neighbourhood.  Maneki is all about bold, comforting flavours and a vibrant dining experience and we can’t wait for residents to settle in and make us part of their everyday, whether that’s a quick ramen fix or a place to unwind and connect with friends.”

The development is operated by Moda, the team behind The Mercian, which was recently recognised as the UK’s leading rental community. Moda is widely regarded as the number one operator of rental homes in the country (Home Views Resident Choice Awards, 2025) and Makers Place builds on this track record.

Makers Place offers more than just a place to live, it’s a place to belong. Located a 2 minute walk from Snow Hill Stationand 10 minutes from Birmingham New Street, it neighbours major transport links in the city and connects residents to everything Birmingham has to offer.

Listings for Makers Place will launch in Spring 2026. Prospective residents can register now for updates and early access at https://modaliving.com/locations/birmingham/makers-place
