Jewellery Quarter site proves a gem for KWB
OFFICE specialist, KWB, has secured a substantial batch of occupiers for an attractive building in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.
The deals for 50-54 St Paul’s Square include several investment purchases.
50-54 St Paul’s Square attracts a diverse range of professional occupiers. In this latest flurry, unit 12 was purchased by Fresh PR, units 17, 25 and 26 were bought by Central Finance Holdings and Studio 2 was bought by MGR Appraisals. A further four of the office units were purchased as ‘buy-to-let’ investments.
Of their new offices, Amanda Kinbrum, managing director of Fresh PR, said: “The lease on our office was due for renewal and, out of curiosity, I looked online at offices to buy in Birmingham. 50-54 came up straight away and I absolutely fell in love with the idea of purchasing our own office.
“We went to look around and were not disappointed. As a small business owner, it’s a great feeling to own our office. With all the development projects in Birmingham, property prices can only go up, so we feel that we have made a brilliant investment.”
The offices benefit from a courtyard setting and feature high beamed ceilings and big windows.
“The staff are really happy to be here. St Paul’s Square is one of the nicest professional areas in Birmingham – it’s close to the train station, it feels safe, it’s close to the city centre and we have all amenities at our fingertips,” added Ms Kinbrum.
The new occupiers join a list of other firms including multimedia company Koala TV, Margetts Fund Management, H&S Solicitors and James Andrews Recruitment Solutions.
If the building continues to prove a major lure for small businesses looking to grow, then KWB has said it expects the property will fully sold within the next few months.
Malcolm Jones, of KWB, said the take-up had been so successful that there were only two units remaining.
“The rate of take up here has been excellent; we’re delighted as are our clients. Interest in these offices is very strong,” he added.
