Strong Q3 for KWB with 100,000 sq ft of M42 office space transactions

This out-of-town area, which has received significant investment in recent years, encompasses the 40 mile M42 motorway, stretching through Birmingham and the greater West Midlands. Whilst activity has traditionally been strong in the Solihull office market, KWB has also demonstrated its significant presence in the Worcestershire office market in recent months and particular success with Redditch office space, which has accounted for 50% of its latest sales and lettings. This continues the trend of a successful first half of the year for Midlands’ office transactions for KWB.

The last 3 months have seen the completion of a number of prestigious sales and lettings for the office relocation specialists:

• Empire Court offices in Redditch to JHP training consultants: 1,200 sq ft
• Rectory Court offices in Alvechurch to Sign Solutions and Canterbury Care: 4,951 sq ft
• Ardent Court offices in Henley-in-Arden to WK Cox and Iperium Consulting: 4,908 sq ft
