Summary, model-written

Kingshurst shopping precinct (a strip mall) closed in 2023 after operating as retail. It is now under construction as a redeveloped site.

Why. The strategy is redevelopment, with new uses including civic space, entertainment, housing (75-80 units: social and private), a park, and four retail outlets. A village hall and coffee house are also planned.

Where it stands. The project is active (under construction) as of 2023, led by Solihull Council and West Midlands Combined Authority. The new high street will be named "Boulevard".

For a planner

  • Housing mix (social/private) and public park align with current urban priorities.
  • Retail component is limited (four outlets) compared to original retail use.

For a developer

  • New retail outlets are planned but scale is unspecified.
  • No financial details or timeline beyond 2023 are provided in the record.

What we do not know yet

  • Status of nearby Tivoli Centre (5.3km away) is unknown.
  • No details on how the new park integrates with existing context.
  • No information on tenant mix or timeline for completion beyond "under construction".

Background

Kingshurst is a post-war suburban village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, in the West Midlands, England. Historically part of the county of Warwickshire, it lies about 7 miles (11 km) north of Solihull town centre and 10 miles (16 km) east of Birmingham; it borders North Warwickshire to the east, and is adjacent to Fordbridge and Smith's Wood. == History == The name Kingshurst comes from having previously been a Royal Manor, and "hurst" meaning wood. The earliest record of Kingshurst is in documents from the late 13th and early 14th centuries, when it is referred to as part of the Manor of Coleshill.
