Plug pulled on 150m Connaught Square scheme in Digbeth – Seems that patch of brown, barren land opposite the coach station is set to remain just that for a while:
Connaught Square was supposed to turn a patch of rubble-strewn wasteland opposite Digbeth Coach Station into a mixed-use site with 658 new apartments, a four-star hotel with sky bar and a new Irish Centre, shops, restaurants and a spa.But now Connaught Square Ltd, the subsidiary of the Irish-owned Naus Group set up to deliver the ambitious plans, has gone into administration and the scheme’s future is in jeopardy.

Turf it over and lets have a “Digbeth Park” could be useful for outdoor events.
The trick is to start small. Open a nice cafe with a flat above it. Any scheme that starts with Sky Bar and Spa is going to fall through.
