BlackRock, working with asset manager Canmoor, has upgraded two office buildings at Birmingham Business Park.
National fit out specialist Overbury has completed a £1million refurbishment of 16,000 sq ft at 3100 and 3140 Park Square, which were acquired by BlackRock – the global investment management company – and Canmoor from Matterhorn in January 2017.
Overbury was appointed by BlackRock and Canmoor to provide a design and build solution to deliver contemporary, high quality air-conditioned offices with completely new mechanical and electrical systems.
Rob Large, director of Canmoor, said: “Both 3100 and 3140 Park Square provided significant refurbishment opportunities and have now been returned to the market to a Category A specification.
“The immediate letting success of 3140 going under offer within a week of the refurbishment completing justifies our investment in the building.”
Joe Huddleston, senior designer at Overbury, said: “We are delighted to have worked again for BlackRock and Canmoor at Birmingham Business Park, having delivered a similar project last year at Trident Court.
“Its team entrusted Overbury to not only come up with the right design solution but also to deliver the work to a fast ten week programme.”
Existing occupiers at Park Square include Canon, Mitsubishi and Penna. The vacant space is available through GVA, KWB and JLL at rents from £19.75 per sq ft, including parking.
