LOC ATION - BIRMINGHAM

INFR ASTRUC TUREBirmingham is at the centre of ambitious infrastructure plans with £18 billion allocated for investment by 2026.

This includes the recently completed, £600 million transformation of New Street Station, including a new concourse, the Grand Central shopping centre and the largest John Lewis store outside of London.

Intra-city connectivity is being greatly improved through the £127 million extension to the Midland Metro network, the first phase of which links Snow Hill to New Street Station, with future phases due to carry passengers to Centenary Square and Digbeth.

A recent extension to the runway at Birmingham Airport has increased the range of direct flights to the West Coast of America and the Far East.

The first phase of the HS2 High Speed Rail link, connecting London to Birmingham, is due to be completed in 2026, reducing journey times from London Euston to a new station at Curzon Street in Eastside to 49 minutes, with up to 14 trains per hour.

THE BIRMINGHAM MARKETS

Birmingham’s office market experienced a record-breaking year in 2015, with 970,458 sq ft of space transacted, a 10% increase on the previous high, recorded in 2008.

The city centre has a total city centre office stock of circa 17.5 million sq ft (1.63 million sq m), making it far larger than any other office centre in the region and giving it the critical mass to attract both regional and national occupiers.

However, approximately 10% of the city centre office stock was developed within the past decade and approximately 25% within the last 20 years. As a result, approximately 6.3 million sq ft (585,000 sq m) is considered Grade A accommodation and 10.7 million sq ft (995,000 sq m) is Grade B.

PRIME OFFICE QUOTING RENTS ARE NOW AT £32 PER SQ F T

COLMORE SQUARE

Given the shortage of supply and the increased activity in the city centre, incentives are falling and rents are rising with prime quoting rents now at £32 per sq ft.

Current Grade A supply is approximately 400,000 sq ft. At average take up this equates to 2 years supply. While there are some refurbishments currently underway, new pipeline development is not due to come on stream until 2018 /2019 at the earliest.

Lease lengths for Grade A and refurbished Grade B is a minimum of 5 years for the sub-10,000 sq ft units, but tenants of larger space are taking 10 year leases in some cases, a trend that is expected to continue.

RESIDENTIALRedevelopment of properties from commercial to residential use has become particularly popular in recent years with notable examples including 1 Hagley Road and Broadway, Broad Street.

Despite the current pipeline, the city is still short of supply, meaning that office to residential conversion is set to continue especially that the Government has announced an extension to permitted development rights (PDR).

Up until now, the pipeline has been located in areas outside of Birmingham’s CBD, so an office-to-residential conversion within the CBD will prove very popular to people wanting to be close to their offices and to the excellent transport links that this location provides.

STUDENT MARKET Birmingham has a large student population and Herbert House is not far from University campuses so there is the possibility of creating new accommodation. Student numbers have risen considerably in recent years which has provided good rental growth and strong occupancy rates.

LEGAL COSTSEach Party to bear their own legal and surveying costs incurred in the transaction.
