Birmingham office block to undergo major overhaul

A 1980s office building in the heart of Birmingham's business district is to undergo a major facelift which will include the addition of a new roof terrace.

Estilo Interiors, which specialises in office fit-out and design, has been recruited to lead the revamp of 35 Newhall Street after plans for the project were first lodged last year.

35 Newhall Street, which sits at the corner with Cornwall Street, is six storeys tall and has 70,000 sq ft of space.

The planned work comprises the addition of a roof terrace and sky lounge, replacement of the existing cladding with a modern, reconstituted stone cladding, the installation of six electric vehicle charging points in the basement car park and a new 44-space cycle hub with lockers and changing rooms.

The existing Newhall Street entrance will undergo a transformation, replacing the current canopy with a portal adorned with perimeter lighting.

Andrew Moore, founder and managing director of Estilo Interiors, said: "We are delighted to spearhead the refurbishment of 35 Newhall Street.

"This project represents a significant step in our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable office spaces that meet the evolving needs of today's businesses."

Property consultancies Knight Frank and Savills have been appointed as joint leasing agencies for the office space.

Jamie Phillips, partner in the office agency team at Knight Frank, said: "35 Newhall Street will, on completion, provide the market with much-needed, high-quality office accommodation which will offer the very highest sustainability credentials and provide occupiers with a best-in-class experience."
