West Midlands Developers Alliance has been set up to back Birmingham's Big City Plan, one of the most far-reaching city centre development plans ever undertaken in the UK. Birmingham's office market is showing signs of life although Carlyle Group's prestige Colmore Plaza development has seen only slow take-up. Phase two of Wolverhampton's rail interchange scheme will seek planning permission this summer. Coventry's Friargate mixed-use scheme finally gets planning approval. Lend Lease's Touchwood shopping centre in Solihull is boosted by new retailers. St Modwen is seeking to redevelop the 17 acre town centre near Bournville College in Longbridge.
