KWB has completed the sale of the former Ladywood Police Station in Birmingham to MIA Property Group, paving the way for a significant new residential-led regeneration scheme in the city.
Marketed by KWB on behalf of West Midlands Police after becoming surplus to operational requirements, the 0.88-acre site comprises a cluster of two and three-storey former police buildings in a highly accessible location off Ladywood Middleway.
The site is just 450m from Fiveways Train Station, 650m from Brindleyplace, and within a mile of Birmingham city centre – placing it within easy reach of jobs, transport, education, and leisure facilities.
The acquisition by MIA Property Group adds to their ownership of the adjoining site, creating a much larger, strategic development opportunity. This combined landholding has the potential to deliver high-quality homes and public realm, contributing to Birmingham’s housing supply and the continued transformation of the city’s urban core.
Martin Cook, director at KWB, said: "We’re delighted to have secured a successful sale of this prime site for West Midlands Police. With its superb connectivity and proximity to the city’s employment and leisure hubs, it offers an exceptional opportunity for placemaking.
“The ability to combine the site with neighbouring land in MIA’s ownership provides the scale and cohesion to deliver a transformative development that benefits both Ladywood and Birmingham as a whole."
Eamonn Colman, investment director at MIA Property Group, added: "This acquisition strengthens our commitment to investing in Birmingham’s future. By uniting this site with our adjoining landholding, we can plan and deliver a considered, design-led residential development that responds to the city’s housing needs and enhances the local environment.
“Birmingham is undergoing a period of significant growth, and this project will play a role in supporting that momentum."
The deal reflects the sustained appetite for strategic urban regeneration opportunities in Birmingham, where strong population growth, major infrastructure investment, and the city’s appeal to young professionals continue to drive demand for new housing.
KWB has an established track record of marketing surplus police properties across the West Midlands, with previous disposals including Shirley, Kingstanding, Brownhills and Willenhall police stations.
