Law firm to relocate 170 staff in Birmingham
Law firm Weightmans is to relocate almost 170 staff in its Birmingham office to 103 Colmore Row.
The firm has signed a 10-year lease on the 9th floor (12,132 sq ft) of the 26-storey building – Birmingham’s tallest office tower.
The deal will see Weightmans’ 168 staff move from St Philips Point, on Temple Row, where it has been based since 2006.
Jawaid Rehman, partner and head of Weightmans’ Birmingham office, said: “In recent years we have really embraced ESG principles and worked hard to embed sustainability into our ‘business as usual’. The Birmingham office move is part of this plan, as the new site offers low impact environmental footprint and a host of other ethical and emission reducing benefits.
“We remain committed to the community and business in Birmingham and the Midlands region and look forward to welcoming guests to Colmore Row in the summer.”
James Howarth, managing director of Sterling Property Ventures, developer of 103 Colmore Row, said: “Weightmans has been based in Birmingham for more than 25 years and with its relocation to 103 Colmore Row it has committed its future to the city in a best-in-class building.”
James Brodie, managing director at Tristan Capital Partners, said: “This latest letting with Weightmans takes the building to 80% let or under offer which is testament to the continued attractiveness of 103 Colmore Row, which combines high-quality workspace, modern amenities and ESG credentials.”
The office space is being marketed by Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, and Knight Frank. David Rigby of Cushman & Wakefield acted on behalf of Weightmans.
