Estate management team for Paradise Birmingham announced

Avison Young has been appointed to provide estate management services at Paradise Birmingham.

The firm’s appointment to work in an advisory capacity on the scheme followed outline planning permission, which was granted in 2013. It will now build on success in this role with provision of comprehensive estate management services.

The £700m, 1.8 million sq ft mixed use development, brought forward by private-public joint venture Paradise Circus Limited Partnership (PCLP) and managed by developers Argent, incorporates office space, retail, car parking and public realm.

The scheme’s first building, One Chamberlain Square, completed and was handed over to PwC in November 2019.

Rob Groves, regional director at Argent, said: “The retention of Avison Young for the management of the development is testament to the quality of their engagement and commitment during the planning phase of development. We now require the skills of an experienced but innovative estate and property management team to deliver the highest standards in line with our vision for Paradise as forging Birmingham’s future by building on its past.

“We look forward to continuing to evolve this iconic scheme with them as our managing agent.”

Guy Thompson, Avison Young, will continue his relationship with Argent on this scheme, supported by associate Justin Sherratt.

Thompson said: “Working alongside the delivery team on this project in the true heart of the city over the last six years is something we are incredibly proud of. We see PCLP, their customers and the people of Birmingham as our stakeholders.

“Being able to now deliver stand out management and occupier experiences to the likes of major organisations and brands such as PwC, DLA Piper, Dishoom and Vinoteca at what is a prime destination in the UK’s second city is something we are hugely excited about.”
