Estate management company adds to portfolio with former police station contract

A development of 32 luxury apartments on the site of a former Solihull police station is to be looked after by Principle Estate Management.

The MIA Properties Group has appointed Principle to manage the three and four-storey block currently under construction on the site of what was once the Shirley police station on the Stratford Road.

The new property will be known as Sir Robert Peel Court, named after the man regarded as the father of modern British policing, owing to his founding of the Metropolitan Police Service.

Zahir Ahmed, a director of MIA Properties, which currently has five sites under construction across the Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be bringing such fantastic living spaces to the area.

“We know that it is crucial to have the proper management of new apartments from the very beginning.

“Having seen Principle’s work rates in assisting us so far, we are confident that Sir Robert Peel Court it will be in very safe hands.”

Joe Jobson, a director at Principle, said: “It is great to be working with Zahir at MIA, which is known throughout the Midlands for transforming properties.

“Over the course of the next 12 months Principle is set for more expansion and it’s through building fantastic relationships with the likes of Zahir at MIA who has shown fantastic faith in us that has enabled us to do so.”
