Birmingham business centre attracts five new tenants
FIVE companies have relocated to a Birmingham business centre.
The companies have all made the move to Regal and Imperial Court, part of Kings Norton Business Centre.
The deals were completed by Cushman & Wakefield and KWB on behalf of CBRE Asset Management and the Harbert Management Corporation (Europe).
The five new tenants are building surveyor Lorne Stewart, the NHS, Christian Education, rail infrastructure services provider, Colas Rail and mechanical contractor, Emtec. In addition an existing tenant, Attraction World, has expanded into further office accommodation elsewhere on the estate.
Lorne Stewart has moved to its new base from nearby Redditch, after it struggled to find new accommodation in the north Worcestershire town. The firm has taken 4,000 sq ft of space.
The NHS is moving part of its administrative arm into a 3,000 sq ft office at the site, while Christian Education, which provides education materials to schools, has taken a similar amount of space.
Colas Rail has taken 4,000 sq ft of space to service a rail contract, while Emtec has moved into 2,000 sq ft of space as part of its national expansion.
The lettings cap off a successful twelve months for the Business Park which has seen 42% of its offices let in the period.
There is currently only 1,900 sq ft of office space vacant at the business centre, such has been demand.
The centre occupies a 60-acre site close to Kings Norton railway station, providing a 15 minute service to Birmingham New Street. There is a total of 800,000 sq ft of industrial and office accommodation at the park, which is now home to around 80 businesses.
Andrew Berry, Associate at Cushman & Wakefield, said that the success of the business park was largely down to its location.
He said: “Kings Norton Business Centre has provided quality office accommodation since the launch of Regal Court in 2001.The scheme is ideally positioned for Birmingham city centre and the M42 motorway and is also one of very few business parks in Birmingham that has direct train links to the city centre.”
