Danny Parmar, business development manager at Overbury

Overbury has been appointed by international law firm Pinsent Masons to deliver the fit out of its impressive new offices in the heart of Birmingham’s business district.

Overbury has been tasked to deliver the fit out of 40,000 sq ft of office space on the first and second floor at 55 Colmore Row, on behalf of Pinsent Masons.

The redeveloped office building was recently unveiled after undergoing a £30 million, 12-month transformation by developer IM Properties.

Danny Parmar, business development manager at Overbury, said: “We have worked with Pinsent Masons on fit outs across the country over a number of years, and we are delighted to be doing so once again on this highly prestigious project.

“Colmore Row is one of the key areas in this city, and it provides us with another great opportunity to showcase our fit out expertise.”

The fit out will create an open office arrangement for staff, and provide an impressive meeting suite, as well as a new staff restaurant.

The installation of bespoke joinery will create a unique finish, and a striking curved reception area.

Perkins+Will, a leading global architects based in London, has designed the new offices internally.

Work is underway, and expected to be completed in June.

Pinsent Masons is moving from its existing offices at The Wesleyan Building in the city centre.

Shirley de Roché, Property and Facilities Director at Pinsent Masons, said: “The West Midlands remains a crucial market for us. Birmingham is going to be among the most vibrant legal and commercial centres outside of London over the next decade, and we’re pleased that our flagship new office reflects the internationally recognised and innovative legal service that we offer in the heart of the Midlands.” 55 Colmore Row is prominently positioned in the heart of the city’s key business district, adjacent to the Grand Hotel, which has also recently been redeveloped by Hortons’ Estate to provide Grade A office space, restaurants and retail units.
