New Garden Square is a major new urban community with up to 2,400 homes and £6m of public realm at in Edgbaston, Birmingham, as part of an emerging UK-wide masterplan strategy for Moda - the first of its kind.

Regenerating unused urban sites across the UK, the masterplans will deliver thriving communities with a joined-up focus on lifestyle, health and wellbeing and tech, underpinned by social and environmental sustainability.

The first phase of the masterplan - Moda, Loudon's Yard [add link] opened in summer 2024 bringing 398 new homes to the area. In November 2024, the second phase of the masterplan was granted permission for a 37-storey residential tower.

The homes will anchor the new neighbourhood, to include a mixture of commercial, retail, F&B and community spaces, along with around £6m of new public realm for everyone to enjoy together.

Public spaces in the ‘New Garden Square’ neighbourhood include a new one-acre central park, along with a striking arrival pavilion building at the site’s gateway and new shops, cafes and restaurants throughout the site, blending the new neighbourhood into the area’s existing community and footprint and welcoming residents, workers and visitors from Birmingham and beyond.
