Major professional services group to relocate 1,200 staff to Paradise

EY is set to relocate more than 1,200 staff to Three Chamberlain Square, at the landmark Paradise development.
Heads of terms have been agreed for the professional services giant to move at the end of its current lease at One Colmore Square, where it’s been based for the last twenty years.
In 2026, 1,200 staff including 55 partners will move to the 189,000 sq ft Grade A office space. EY will occupy 70,000 sq ft on the top three floors of the ten-storey building.
Three Chamberlain Square which is due to be completed in Summer 2025, has already achieved a BREEAM Outstanding and NABERS 5* rating at design stage accreditations.
Simon O’Neill, office managing partner at EY in the Midlands said: “With a growing business of over 1,200 people and Partners based in Birmingham and strong levels of demand from our clients, the investment in a new office reflects our commitment to maintaining a prominent and lasting presence in the region.
“The new office will provide a high spec, working environment for our teams, in a low carbon building with great transport links. We are looking forward to welcoming our people and clients to our new premises when we move in next year.”
Ross Fittall, commercial development director at Paradise asset and development manager MEPC said: “We warmly welcome EY and its Midlands team to Three Chamberlain Square. As the first commercial letting for this landmark new building, EY’s move is yet another vote of confidence in Paradise and we’re looking forward to seeing a further 1,200 staff on site and enjoying all the estate has to offer.
“The building’s unique, low carbon design and its NABERS 5* and BREEAM Outstanding accreditations make it a sustainable commercial destination in the Midlands. It underlines our commitment to a net zero future and has helped create a benchmark for the remaining phase at Paradise. This is being supported by occupiers like EY who are driven by their own principles around sustainability and commitment to creating a better, net zero world.”
