Grade II listed office building fully let by Hortons’
A Grade II listed office building is now fully let just off Colmore Row.
The Barwick, a three-storey building that’s part of The Grand Hotel scheme has been let by Hortons’ Estate following a £750,000 refurbishment.
It is the third recent deal to be completed at the boutique style office building, following lettings to global construction and property consultancy, WT and PR agency Make More Noise.
Hortons’ has transformed The Barwick into 5,238 sq ft of self-contained Grade A office space.
Former meeting rooms and bedrooms, as well as the bar that once served the Grosvenor Ballroom, were all comprehensively refurbished as modern office accommodation.
Nina Meeks of Hortons’ said: “This is a charming historic property that has been carefully refurbished to deliver stunning modern offices, very different in character to traditional office spaces. All of the office suites boast original features, including exposed brickwork and beams which were part of the original hotel.
“We now only have a single 2,923 sq ft office suite available as part of The Grand Hotel development, which is located within the neighbouring Imperial and Whitehall”.
The Barwick was marketed by joint letting agents, Alex Tross of Centrick and Charles Warrack of Fisher German.
Charles Warrack, associate director at Fisher German said: “The offices at The Barwick have proven immensely popular and are testament to the fact that post the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for sub 2,000 sq ft best in class boutique office space in Birmingham city centre continues to be very strong.”
Alex Tross, commercial director at Centrick said: “The Barwick has performed exceptionally well and its success is down to the fact that it gives occupiers something special at the end of their commute. The blend of period charm and central location has proved incredibly popular.”
