King Edward House

Appointed in 2019 to manage all aspects of the project on behalf of fund manager M&G Real Estate. We established a commercial appraisal which set quality, programme and financial expectations, lead Agreement for Lease negotiations with the preferred operator and the design development process through to a successful planning consent.

Proposals are being developed to repurpose the office floors of the building to create a modern hotel, moments from Birmingham’s wealth of city centre attractions including the Bullring and Grand Central retail complex as well as New Street station.

• Repurposing a struggling, town centre office building with new lease of life as a hotel
• Balancing expectations of new user against constraints of an existing building
• Targeting BREEAM ‘Very Good’ in line with client’s sustainability expectations
• Resolution to grant change of use attained in December 2019
