Work has begun on the refurbishment of an Art Deco style building in Birmingham city centre that will deliver a range of office suites.

Hortons has appointed Estilo Interiors to deliver the refurbishment of the upper six floors of the building, which will be renovated and upgraded to provide office suites ranging in size from 500 sq ft to 1,560 sq ft.

The suites are expected to be ready for occupation in summer 2021.

Richard Walker of Hortons’, said: “21 Bennetts Hill is an attractive period building which Hortons have owned since 1985. The refurbishment will be completed to a high standard and we look forward to seeing the finished product. It will provide a range of stylish office suites available on flexible and competitive terms, perfect for small businesses or start-up firms looking for a base in central Birmingham.

“The building is superbly positioned, just a few minutes’ walk from New Street, Snow Hill and Moor Street Stations and we expect the new facilities to be highly attractive to prospective occupiers.”
