Digbeth is Birmingham's regeneration story. The BBC signed for 84,000 square feet at Typhoo Wharf in Q1 2024, anchoring the district's transformation from industrial heritage to creative tech hub. The Tea Factory is now at full occupancy. Custard Factory and Fazeley Studios — converted Victorian warehouses — house a dense cluster of design agencies, digital studios, and creative tech businesses.
Transport is improving rapidly: Moor Street station sits at the northern edge, New Street is a 10-minute walk, and HS2's Curzon Street station — under construction directly adjacent — will connect Birmingham to London in 45–50 minutes when operational. The transformation of connectivity will be significant.
Businesses choose Digbeth for the lowest rents in the city centre combined with the best character stock. Former industrial heritage — tea, tyres, print — now houses the kind of creative businesses that thrive in converted warehouses with high ceilings and original features. The BBC anchor deal validates the market — expect rents to rise as HS2 delivers.
