Birmingham tallest resi building appoints managing agent
The developer of Birmingham’s tallest residential skyscraper has appointed KWB to manage the Broad Street building
It’s almost 18 months since Regal Property Group instructed KWB to manage the first tower at its The Bank scheme. Now, the developer has asked the agent to take on the second tower.
KWB associate director, Nicola Fagan, said: “The first tower contains 189 apartments and studio flats, which means dealing with around 200 tenants, so it was a very sizeable management project in itself,” she said.
“The second one stretches to 32 floors, with another 217 flats to manage, and also contains a kitchen, coffee lounge and gym for the use of tenants in both towers, so it’s very pleasing to win a second instruction from Regal.”
The second tower, which will reach the ‘practical completion’ stage later this month, will be 101.5m tall, making it Birmingham’s tallest residential building.
“It was a sign of the strong relationship we have built with Regal, that they allowed us to use the first tower for a charity abseil in September to raise money for Edward’s Trust,” said Fagan.
Mark Holbeche, director of development at Regal Property Group, said: “KWB have provided an excellent concierge and building management service in our first building at The Bank, so to appoint them to the same role as we near the completion of our second tower made perfect sense.
“Our residents have built good relationships with KWB’s staff so far, and we’re sure their on-site team will continue to make our new residents in Tower 2 feel welcome in their new homes.”
