The Narrowhouse at 52 Gas Street is set to redefine sustainable urban living as the world’s tallest energy-positive residential building. This £60 million development by GNM will feature 249 coliving apartments across a striking 21-storey tower and six-storey podium, seamlessly blending modern design with the restoration of the historic Toll House. Pioneering Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), the project generates more energy than it consumes, aligning with Birmingham’s green ambitions. Located in the vibrant Gas Street Basin, residents enjoy canal-side living just minutes from HS2 (49 mins to London), coworking lounges, and rooftop social space, making it a magnet for eco-conscious professionals and digital nomads.
