Berkeley Group takes new central Birmingham office

FTSE 100 housebuilder Berkeley Group has agreed to acquire 4,700 sq ft of office space at 9 Colmore Row in the heart of Birmingham’s business district.

Acting jointly on behalf of BNP Paribas Real Estate, KWB and Savills agreed an assignment of the remainder of a lease which expires in 2020. The accommodation was acquired in a fully fitted ‘plug and play’ condition. Berkeley Group will trade as St Joseph Homes, a brand which operates in the West Midlands.

Berkeley Group is relocating its West Midlands headquarters office from Solihull to Birmingham’s central business district.

Mr Robinson says: “9 Colmore Row is a suitably prestigious city centre address in keeping with Berkeley Group’s vision and values. In the heart of Birmingham’s financial and professional district it is close to its clients and consultants and extremely well located for travel across the region and to London. As a FTSE 100 company Berkeley Group also provides a great covenant for our client.”
