The property features large, adaptable floorplates of approximately 17,500 sq ft, suitable for a single occupier or multi-let configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Planning consent was granted in 2024 for a 40,000 sq ft extension alongside a comprehensive refurbishment, further enhancing the asset\u2019s repositioning potential.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity comes at a time of constrained supply in Birmingham\u2019s Grade A office market, with limited new development underway and prime headline rents reaching \u00a352.00 per sq ft, the highest among the UK\u2019s Big Six regional cities.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Woodward, head of CBRE\u2019s Birmingham Investment team, said: \u201cThe Birmingham market is currently experiencing a major shortage of Grade A supply, with no new schemes being progressed and record regional rents being set. 120 Edmund Street is one of very few buildings able to deliver high quality office space into the local market within the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently vacant, stripped-out and with planning permission already granted, this building is a rare blank canvas, ready for an investor to take charge of the building\u2019s design, specification and leasing strategy. 120 Edmund Street can capitalise on the favourable dynamics of the occupational market and answer the city\u2019s medium term supply gap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClick here to sign up to receive our new South West business news&#8230;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebusinessdesk.com\/account\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"X Register for free to receive latest news stories direct to your inbox Register CBRE\u2019s capital markets team&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":959940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-959939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116574585885514752","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=959939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/959940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=959939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=959939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
