Following the refurbishment, only three suites remain available for lease.<\/p>\n<p>The building\u2019s new owner, EDG Property, has invested in fully fitted office spaces. The latest tenant to move in is RP Capital, founded by Midlands-based property professionals Simon Robinson and Julie Perks.<\/p>\n<p>The pair, who have over 50 years of combined experience in the commercial property sector, have taken a 700 sq ft suite on the first floor.<\/p>\n<p>Previous new tenants include mechanical, electrical and environmental design firm MEP Design and commercial fit-out company Intex Projects, joining established occupants such as Jamaya Restaurants, the Frankfurt Christmas Market and Jeremy Gardner Associates.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Edginton, director of EDG Property said: \u201cIn the current working environment, companies are realising they need to be doing all they can to retain and entice the best talent, which means offering flexible working and perhaps a smaller office environment that is both modern and close to local amenities \u2013 and 126 Colmore Row ticks all of those boxes, where occupiers can make a seamless transition by moving into high-end and oven-ready office space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe occupiers we currently have reflects the broad and dynamic nature of Birmingham\u2019s business district, and the fact that our own letting agents for the property \u2013 who know the city\u2019s property landscape inside out \u2013 are occupiers themselves, speaks volumes on how special this property is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julie Perks said: \u201cWe wanted to be in a strong, central CBD location and 126 Colmore Row is certainly that. Flight to quality, remains the key driver for most, if not all, occupiers looking for office space whether that be 1,000 sq ft or 10,000 sq ft.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>126 Colmore Row in Birmingham\u2019s CBD now has just three office suites available following investment
