Colmore Placemaking

Colmore Placemaking curates public spaces that reflect the District’s exceptional character, delivering transformational public realm projects and championing quality across every physical detail. We have already created award-winning spaces where communities connect and life is enriched, and we continue building on that success. From Church Street Square and Colmore Square to Snow Hill Square and Cornwall Street, our work brings energy to the business quarter and hospitality scene. Through a clean, green, and well-maintained approach, we influence design excellence, lead major projects, and create environments where heritage and contemporary design meet at Birmingham’s centre stage.
