Show more "Construction has started on a flagship cohousing project for older people in Birmingham where those interested in living in the scheme have chosen the name of the place they hope to one day call home. Completion is expected in late 2025.The development, on Chain Walk near Six Ways Island in Lozells, has been named ‘Rupali Court’ which means ‘silver’ in Bengali and ‘most beautiful’ in Indian, reflecting the positive connotations that silver has for older people in the Bengali community, alongside the character and spirit the completed scheme will encompass.
The project is being led by Housing 21, together with Legacy West Midlands who have facilitated relationships between the not-for-profit housing provider and residents from the local community, enabling them to help shape the design of the scheme.
Following feedback from prospective residents, Rupali Court will feature a large communal lounge and kitchen, enabling residents to cook and share meals. These spaces will serve as a hub for residents, promoting interaction, collaboration and a strong sense of community, helping to tackle social isolation.
The scheme will also benefit from a multi-faith room and landscaped garden that will include an allotment for residents to grow their own produce and support the wider community’s passion for sustainable living." Show less
