Glasswater Locks

Description

Glasswater Locks is a transformative residential development located in the heart of Birmingham’s Learning Quarter. This historic site, once a thriving glassworks, has been revitalised to offer contemporary canal-side living just moments from the city centre. Residents will enjoy an array of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, cinema, games room, and gym, all within a distinctive canalside setting that also features retail and commercial spaces.

This project epitomises modern canalside living—renewed, revitalised, and ready for a new generation.
