Work has commenced on site for the £40 million Grade A office scheme, Calthorpe House – one of Birmingham’s most environmentally friendly commercial buildings.
The 105,600 sq ft (9,810 sq m) development, which was recently awarded a BREEAM* ‘EXCELLENT’ rating by BRE (Building Research Establishment), is now being built at the junction fronting Calthorpe Road, close to Five Ways island.
Calthorpe House, a joint venture between Calthorpe Estates and Marshgate Developments Ltd, will feature large, open floor plates of up to 22,200 sq ft (2,062 sq m), offering flexibility of space much sought after by occupiers.
Calthorpe Estates Commercial Director, David Povall, said, “This is a significant step in our vision to deliver the highest quality office space to Birmingham. Calthorpe House represents best practice at every level. It will deliver over 105,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation to the market in March 2009 and, more importantly given its sustainable credentials, it will continue to deliver benefits for its surrounding environment for many years to come.”
Calthorpe House has been designed by Birmingham architects, Webb Grey and will be built by HBG, one of the leading construction companies in the UK.
