We, Nacropolis, are bringing forward a development which will  transform the currently vacant ‘Borough Buildings’ at 58-72 John Bright Street into a vibrant 179 bedroom hotel including a café with outside area, a breakfast bar and co-working space. 

The site is currently unused and run down. We are proposing to sensitively renovate and enhance this characterful building reintroducing an active ground floor fronting onto John Bright Street along with a set back 3-storey contemporary extension. To learn about ideas please read through this website and give us feedback on our Have Your Say page. 

A planning application has now been submitted, and full details can be seen on the Birmingham City Council planning pages. The planning application number is 2026/01603/PA.
