The Society House building on the corner of High Street and Dartmouth Street in West Bromwich has been stripped back to shell condition.

Empire Property had planned to transform the art deco building into 105 one and two-bedroom apartments.

Work had started on the 172-year-old building in January 2022, but surveyors Fletcher Bond have now been appointed as joint fixed charge receiver of Society House after the project “suffered some issues”.

The seven-storey building, which currently has 62,210 sq ft of space, had been empty since the building society moved to its new headquarters at Providence Place in 2017. It was bought by Empire in April 2018.
