First look at brand new luxury student living in Birmingham

Luxury student accommodation provider Haüs has unveiled the first look inside its brand new development in Birmingham, designed to redefine student living in the city.

Located on Calthorpe Road, Haüs Edgbaston comprises 266 units ranging from en suite rooms to deluxe studio apartments, with prices starting from £210 per week.

The 95,000 sq ft building, which previously housed HSBC’s offices, has been transformed into stylish accommodation offering students a variety of tailored living spaces to suit different requirements and budgets.

En suite rooms are available for students who enjoy a sociable, shared-living experience, with Classic and Premium options set within shared flats, each containing a private bathroom alongside communal kitchen and living areas. For students seeking greater independence, Haüs offers a range of self-contained studio apartments, all featuring private kitchens and living spaces, allowing students to choose the level of privacy and space that best suits them.

Designed around the concept of an exclusive members club, Haüs Edgbaston offers extensive on-site amenities created to meet the changing expectations of modern-day students. Facilities include a fully equipped gym, juice bar, cinema room, karaoke room, games room, content creation studio, private study zones, and a private dining room for hosting friends.

The development, located at 12 Calthorpe Road, was acquired by Birmingham-based property firm Mercia Real Estate in September 2019, and is set to welcome students in September 2026. The initial phase comprises 266 units in phase one and will extend to 395 student rooms by June 2028.

Samuel Clark, founder and CEO at Mercia Real Estate, said: “Haüs Edgbaston is setting a new benchmark for student accommodation in the city, combining high-quality, flexible living spaces with a comprehensive suite of on-site amenities. We’re waving goodbye to the days of clinical student dorms and breathing new life into the student living sector. Every element has been designed with the modern student in mind, from private study zones and collaborative social spaces to wellbeing-focused facilities, including in the gym and juice bar, creating a prime living space where students can study, relax and thrive.”
