Work on a £30 million office project in Birmingham is now complete.
Following practical completion, Morgan Sindall has now handed over 55 Colmore Row to developer IM Properties (IMP).
The 160,000 sq ft Grade A space is located behind the building's Grade II listed Victorian façade. Set over six storeys, the remodeled new-build sections will provide office space for the financial and professional sector.
Features included carrying out significant restoration and retention works to the building's foyer, while major works to integrate the original lifts with the new-build areas and new service cores have been completed.
The office space will now undergo internal fit out before the first tenants move in in early summer.
IMP's investment director, John Hammond, said: "I have to admit I'm extremely proud of what we've achieved at 55 Colmore Row. Many were daunted by the enormity of this project and thought we were brave to take it on.
"However, from the beginning, we had a clear vision of how we wanted to inject a new energy and life into the building. Thanks to our highly skilled in-house project delivery team, we have managed with construction partners, Morgan Sindall, to pull off an extremely complex build, in a tight site, and most importantly to budget."
Morgan Sindall's area director for the Midlands, Richard Fielding, added: "By any measure, this is an enormously significant project for the city and region. It raises the bar in terms of quality and, as the pre-lets demonstrate, it is meeting the high demand for commercial accommodation in the city."
