Floriat Birmingham - Three Snowhill
These are great days for Birmingham with many initiatives
underway, including the largest ever speculative office building outside London
now on site. We are proud to have masterplanned and designed the infrastructure
and three buildings at Ballymore’s Snowhill over the last fifteen years,
culminating in the third building which will provide 360,000ft2 of office space
as well as 30,000ft2 of retail and leisure facilities. The development has
already significantly helped to regenerate this key area of the city and create
links between the existing business district and the Gun and Jewellery Quarters
to the north. It has also opened up the eastern zone and will now become part
of the Birmingham ‘Big City Plan’.
The go ahead for our Snowhill 3 has been promoted by George
Osborne recently as an exemplar to the regions in redefining the economic map
of the UK:
‘We
want to make the Midlands Britain’s engine for growth and this landmark will
play an important part’ he said ‘The resulting space will play home to
businesses with thousands of valuable jobs right in the heart of the Midlands –
a vital step in us rebalancing the economy in Britain’.
There is still much to be done – but the emerging success of
projects such as Snowhill – already including tenants such as Barclays; KPMG;
Gowling WLG and HS2, - that deliver
excellent value and returns for investors outside London, is something we hope
to be part of for years to come.
