Kick starting the year, GVA's Birmingham office has let 8,537 sq ft of space at Unit 1 of Miller Developments' development, The Pavilions, in Solihull to The Parts Alliance Limited and Data Development Services (DDS).

The deal comes only months after lettings at Units 6 and 10 to Physiotherapy clinic PhysioWorld and interior design and fit-out specialists the Wattrus Group respectively. Only four units now remain at the 12 unit scheme, reflecting 25 per cent of available space at the development now ranging from 1,925 - 3,164 sq ft.

Adrian Griffith, Associate at GVA, said: "The latest letting at The Pavilions represents the largest of the 12 units with only four units now available for occupation. We are encouraged by the large interest we have seen in the scheme, with the latest letting completing a hat-trick of lettings within the last four months alone. 

"We believe it is the competitive leasing packages and purchase options, coupled with the generous designated parking and flexible space is driving a high number of enquiries for a high quality, reputable base in a location that has experience huge growth in popularity from smaller businesses." 

Currently situated at opposite ends of the West Midlands, the central facility for The Parts Alliance, a group of 10 of the leading Automotive Aftermarket product and service providers, and Automotive Aftermarket systems provider DDS are coming together within the largest of the self-contained offices at the development during February 2011. 

The relocation will allow both companies to expand to meet the demand experienced by recent growth within the market sector, as a result of a number of significant national contract wins. It will also enable the companies to continue to meet customer requirements at the highest possible service level from one integrated location.

Andrew Field, Director of The Parts Alliance, said: "Unit 1 at The Pavilions offers quality modern space with the vital room for expansion that we need as a growing company and supplier. Both teams are looking forward to moving from their current offices to the new location during February, not only as the new space offers a vibrant working environment but also its proximity to quality amenities including Touchwood Shopping Centre and a range of restaurants."

Situated only five minutes from the centre of Solihull and only a short drive from Junction 4 of the M42, The Pavilions is proving a popular office location among smaller niche businesses that are benefitting from the proximity of key amenities, building efficiency and good transport links. Other existing tenants include Touch Systems, Abel Alarms, FourstaR and the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors.

A scheme by Miller Developments, part of Miller Group, the Grade A offices are available to buy or lease, with space totalling 9,463 sq ft available across the remaining four self-contained two-storey buildings.
