Origins - The Lee Bank Estate: The site was originally part of Birmingham's post-war housing boom, known as the Lee Bank estate. Built during the 1960s, this sprawling development included multiple tower blocks. Between 2000 and 2006, several of these were demolished-most notably Chatsworth Tower (2002) and Haddon Tower (2006)-marking the start of a major transformation.
Regeneration Project (2005 onwards): Crest Nicholson, working with Birmingham City Council and Optima Community Association, led a vast redevelopment covering 60+ acres. The project aimed to replace outdated high-rises with a vibrant mix of housing types, green space, and amenities. As of mid 2016, over 1,300 homes had been built, with further phases underway.
Park Central's Recognition: The development earned national acclaim, winning Development of the Year (100+ homes) at the Sunday Times British Homes Awards in 2014. Judges commended its quality design, "chameleon" facades, and sensitive integration with the community
