Consulting firm makes city centre move
Specialist consulting engineering firm Tony Gee and Partners has taken space at the eight storey Birmingham city centre building 10 Temple Street.
Tony Gee is taking a total of 7,602 sq ft, with 4,989 sq ft on the first floor and 2,613 sq ft on the second, for a term of ten years.
With the third floor under offer, this leaves just the two top floors and part of the second floor available.
Regional director Paul Wallace said: “Moving from the city’s fringe at Quinton to the very core of the city is a major step for Tony Gee.
“Alongside its great facilities, 10 Temple Street’s proximity to New Street Station enables staff and visitors to commute directly to our offices by foot, cycle and all modes of public transport. As part of the Midland Metro Alliance, we are thrilled to be able to utilise the very same sustainable, integrated transport system in which we are involved.”
Philippa Pickavance of Philippa Pickavance Real Estate acted for Tony Gee in their search and office relocation.
She said: “It is interesting how priorities are now changing for many occupiers and, although at their old location Tony Gee were reliant on their cars, this new location, which has no on site parking but is close to all public transport, was a big draw for my clients.”
Vicki Burnett, associate at JLL who acted for Freshwater, added: “Following its refurbishment, the specification and amenity at 10 Temple Street are now a perfect match for the building’s unrivalled location.”
10 Temple Street underwent a refurbishment by its long term owner Freshwater Group in 2017.
Andrew Thomson of Freshwater Group said: “When we decided to make such a significant investment in a building in this vibrant part of the city centre, we were very confident that new tenants would be attracted to it by the outstanding location and superb facilities on offer. It is very gratifying to have that confidence rewarded by the latest letting. I am certain that Tony Gee and the company’s staff will thoroughly enjoy the benefits of selecting 10 Temple Street as their new Birmingham base.”
Offering a bright and welcoming reception directly off Temple Street, surrounded by independent coffee houses, bars, and restaurants with the city’s best retail outlets and key transport hubs just minutes away, 10 Temple Street caters for all businesses, staff, commuters and visitors.
JLL acted jointly with KWB as agents on behalf of the owners, Freshwater Group.
