Birmingham’s transformation is creating demand for places that support how people want to live, work, and spend time. As the city attracts investment, talent, and new residents, there is growing opportunity for workplaces, homes, destinations, and mixed-use environments that create richer experiences and stronger connections between people and place.

Our Birmingham studio brings together home-grown and multi-national talent working across critical facilities, workplace, retail, residential, regeneration, and experience-led design. That breadth allows us to look at complex challenges from different angles, connect ideas across sectors, and build the right team around each client and project.

Projects are shaped by close collaboration between Birmingham-based teams and specialists across Gensler’s wider network. This means clients can access additional sector, technical, or market expertise when needed, while maintaining a consistent local team that understands the brief, context, and relationships throughout the project.

At Gensler Birmingham, our work spans critical facilities and digital infrastructure, mixed-use regeneration, masterplanning, workplace, residential and retail We support clients ranging from technology companies and hyperscale data centre providers to financial institutions, commercial developers, and residential investors across the Midlands, wider UK, and Europe.

Our impact extends beyond individual projects. As Gensler’s European Critical Facilities Centre of Excellence, Birmingham contributes to conversations around carbon reduction, placemaking, and digital infrastructure, while regeneration work and Community Impact initiatives such as Birmingham Design Club reflect a wider commitment to economic growth, community vitality, and positive social impact.
