130,000 sq ft of new office space planned for Birmingham Business Park

New images have been released showing two proposed office buildings, totaling 130,000 sq ft, at Birmingham Business Park.

The buildings will be located on plot 6700, a 5.93-acre development site accessed from Solihull Parkway.

Owner BlackRock and asset manager Canmoor have been granted planning consent by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to create the additional office space on the park.

The buildings will comprise 60,881 sq ft and 70,171 sq ft, with 521 car parking spaces.

Birmingham Business Park is set in 148 acres of mature parkland and is home to more than 120 companies, including Rolls Royce, IMI, Fujitsu, Goodyear, Beiersdorf and Changan Automotive.

The park comprises 2.4m sq ft of office accommodation, with space currently available from 1,500 sq ft – 25,000 sq ft.

Rob Large, director of asset managers Canmoor, said: “Birmingham Business Park is continuing to attract occupiers who want office accommodation with easy access to transport links and good on-site amenities for employees.

“Plot 6700 represents the next phase of development at the Park. The planned new office buildings will provide an option for those who want to be located on Birmingham Business Park but require space larger than 25,000 sq ft and who want a HQ office with their own front door, of which opportunities are limited.”

Joint agents acting for BlackRock and Canmoor are JLL, GVA and KWB.
