Stephen Hemming - Lambert Smith Hampton Birmingham Planning, Development & Regeneration team said "Recent LSH research1 shows that occupiers will look for Quality over Quantity when seeking new office space and this development will deliver that with a fantastic design and specification which will be a welcome addition to the current office stock".

Ben Rayner - Holland Lloyd: “This is another exciting regeneration scheme in Birmingham City Centre that highlights the confidence in the City, bringing jobs to the local area. The site is close to existing amenities, and we expect this proposal will encourage wider regeneration local to this site. City Realty emphasised “this is a fantastic site in an everchanging part of the City Centre. We are confident this high-quality commercial development will help promote the City post-pandemic.”

Tony Mead - Corstorphine + Wright: “This is a unique opportunity to introduce a landmark office building to a key route through the city, whilst integrating the Peace Gardens into our proposals with new pedestrian routes linking the city centre and canal side developments. With a current focus on what a Post Covid city centre would look like, we believe that there will still be a strong demand for creative workspaces where people can come together and work collaboratively. How we work and utilise these open spaces in a sustainable way are going to be key challenges for the city, especially relevant following the launch of the City’s own vision for 2040, and we see this as a perfect time to create high quality office accommodation that aims to achieve BREEAM Excellent performance.”
