Demolition is expected to start within the new few months, with construction taking place over two years.<\/p>\n

It is believed that BAM Construction is in talks to carry out the job.<\/p>\n

By repurposing the Bordesley Street landmark, Stoford is aiming to deliver one of Birmingham\u2019s first net zero carbon in construction office buildings.<\/p>\n

The building will utilise the majority of its existing facades, structure and substructure, avoiding substantial carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The BBC is hoping to move from its current home at The Mailbox to the new 84,000 sq ft custom-built centre in 2026.<\/p>\n

The building is on target to achieve a BREEAM rating of \u2018outstanding\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Typhoo Wharf will house several BBC editorial teams, including The Archers, BBC Asian Network, BBC Newsbeat, BBC Radio WM and Midlands Today.<\/p>\n

Over the next decade, Stoford plans to deliver up to 800,000 sq ft of new residential, office and hospitality accommodation around the new BBC.<\/p>\n

The wider scheme will see more than 10 acres of underutilised land around Typhoo Wharf and the adjoining canal basin transformed into a new mixed-use neighbourhood characterised by attractive public spaces and open thoroughfares.<\/p>\n

A new public square will be delivered in time for the arrival of the first BBC staff.<\/p>\n

Grant Associates is designing the new landscape and urban realm, which will create a new canalside quarter centred on the canal which used to bring tea in and out of the original Typhoo building.<\/p>\n
