An office block in Birmingham city centre has reopened following a back-to-frame renovation project. CBRE Investment Management led the scheme to combine the old 8 and 10 Brindleyplace into a single address.
The new-look 10 Brindleyplace has 210,000 sq ft of grade A office space including a 27,000 sq ft co-working and flexible office hub called 10K which is being operated by Spacemade and is capable of hosting 500 people.
Other new amenities for tenants include meeting rooms, a coffee shop and 2,000 sq ft auditorium and event space and there are workplace benefits from 'smart' building platform from Smart Spaces.
Laura Wilson-Brown, UK head of asset management offices at CBRE Investment Management, said: "10 Brindleyplace delivers a new standard of space to meet the flight-to-quality demands of the modern occupier.
"The building provides a high-quality, amenity-rich, sustainable workplace in a market where deliverability of grade A space is getting ever harder for investors and developers."
Spacemade co-founder Dan Silverman said: "With the increased focus on hybrid working, this environment will give members the variety and flexibility required to attract Birmingham's best talent to the office."
Paul Stanley, technical director with building consultancy Workman which also worked on the project, added: "The complex refurbishment and retrofitting of large office buildings is a growing theme as investors seek to improve the environmental, social and governance performance of their holdings and avoid carbon-intensive knockdown-and-rebuild strategies.
"10 Brindleyplace is a beacon of best practice for this effort, having transformed two smaller outdated office spaces into an industry-leading workspace that sets the bar for both Birmingham and the wider UK office market."
CBRE and Savills are acting as joint agents for the office space.
