£2 million facelift of Albany House offices adds to Birmingham city centre rejuvenation

A £2 million facelift of offices at Albany House in the heart of Birmingham is further fuelling the city centre’s redevelopment.

About 17,000 square feet of office space is available over a number of suites at the premises in Hurst Street which is being fitted with modern cladding and double glazing due for completion in summer 2015 following the contemporary refurbishment of internal common areas last year.

Work on the offices, which are being let through commercial property experts Vail Williams, coincides with numerous redevelopment schemes in the city including the multi-million-pound redevelopments of nearby New Street Station and Eastside Locks, and represents further investment in rejuvenating the city centre.

The facelift to Albany House, which contains 52,000 square feet of office space across 11 storeys, will add to its qualities as a highly desirable business base with higher efficiency and competitive rents.

The location is within walking distance of Moor Street and New Street railway stations, as well as the Bull Ring Shopping Centre.

Vail Williams Senior Surveyor Steven Bott said: “Albany House is an excellent business location and this £2 million investment is going to make it even more attractive to companies looking to arrive and expand in Birmingham.

“When you consider the improvements to Albany House in the context of the wider city centre, it’s another clear signal of an area very much on the up.”
