Ashted Wharf, Glasswater Locks, B4

DESCRIPTION Glasswater Locks opens up a new gateway between Birmingham's Eastside and the city's vibrant Learning Quarter. Its selection of contemporary canal-side apartments and duplexes are located moments away from the city centre and high speed rail links.

The vision is to create a thriving new community with extensive on-site facilities that offer an appealing alternative to the buzz of the city. The elegant landscaping breathes life back into the canal-side, connecting the city's rich industrial heritage with its promising future 

SHAPED FOR THE FUTURE Glasswater Locks brings convenience and connectivity to comfortable, modern living set alongside a peaceful waterway. The development benefits from 155m of canal-side frontage, enhancing the tranquility of the area. The residents' facilities will include a 24-hour concierge, residents' business lounge, games
room and cinema, as well as planned cafés, bars and restaurants. It will also be a short walk from the forthcoming high speed rail station and the best of Birmingham's city centre dining, shopping and cultural attractions. 

A NEW WATERSIDE COMMUNITY Outdoor seating areas and new walkways open up the canal towpath, making it an accessible, vibrant destination for every
member of the community. A clear relationship exists between environmental quality and overall wellbeing which is reflected in the revival of the canal. Special attention has been given to creating a pedestrianised, car-free environment and enhancing the public spaces surrounding Glasswater Locks.
