High-quality refurbished office space attracts businesses to the city centre, continuing the strong upward trend since the pandemic. In Q2 2024, 168,512 sq ft of office space was let in Birmingham city centre across 29 transactions. When combined with Q1 take-up, the market has seen its best half-year since the pandemic.
While a significant public sector deal at Three Snowhill made up over a third of the square footage let this quarter, much of the remaining take-up came from existing office space, upgraded to offer occupiers a high-quality, contemporary working environment. With two of the high-profile, new-build offices in Birmingham, 103 Colmore Row and Two Chamberlain Square, now almost at capacity, the office market in Birmingham continues to prosper with refurbished office space providing desirable options in a city centre location.
