A landmark build-to-rent scheme delivering homes, lifestyle and commercial space in the heart of Birmingham’s Southside district.
Lower Essex Street is a major new development comprising 628 apartments across three residential blocks, delivered by the Galliard Apsley Partnership. Dexson Contracts provided a full internal package including dry lining, decoration, and the fit-out of 20,000 sqft of commercial amenity space. This included concierge areas, offices, a crèche, podcast rooms and more — all completed to programme and specification. The project was recognised with an NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for its exceptional standards.
Located in one of Birmingham’s most vibrant quarters, this large-scale scheme reflects the growing demand for high-quality, city-centre living. Dexson’s involvement spanned both residential and commercial zones, combining core dry lining services with detailed decoration and specialist fit-out expertise. Our team ensured every element was coordinated and delivered to exacting standards, with a focus on liveability, durability and modern urban design. The scheme’s recognition by the NHBC underlines the commitment to quality across every stage. From private interiors to public-facing amenities, we helped bring this ambitious development to life — on time and to the high-quality finish expected by both the client and future residents.
