Birmingham Business Park
Location: Birmingham Business Park
Client: Canmoor/BlackRock
Size: 350,000 sq ft
Birmingham Business Park represents KWB’s largest instruction. First brought on board by previous owners, Canmoor, KWB has been retained by new owner, BlackRock an American investment firm, with Canmoor remaining as asset managers.
The fortunes of Birmingham Business Park have completely turned around in the time since Canmoor’s purchase and KWB’s instruction, and it is now the premier business park in the Midlands. The business park now stands at 90% occupied, a level of occupancy that it has not seen for well over 10 years.
KWB recognised that the potential sizes available on-site make it one of the few office locations in Greater Birmingham that can support large relocations, expansions or consolidations. Offices at Birmingham Business Park offer businesses great connectivity, not only with the rest of the country, being close to J6 of the M42, but internationally as well, with its close proximity to Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International train station.
KWB supports its marketing of the office space on Birmingham Business Park with a strong SEO strategy to ensure that the business park is prominent on relevant online geographical searches. KWB has secured key occupiers, such as Uniper, Changan Automotive, Canon UK and Ryder Trucks. The office lettings and sales that KWB has successfully secured in recent years on the Park have made KWB dominant in the quarterly transaction totals for Birmingham’s out-of-town office market.
