Flexible office provider Orega will take an additional 7,500 sq
ft of office space at the landmark Birmingham office building,
Colmore Plaza, following an agreement with owner The Carlyle
Group.
Following the outstanding success of Orega's existing business
at Colmore Plaza, with 10,000 sq ft of space now fully occupied and
the continued demand for space, Orega will take an additional 7,500
sq ft on the mezzanine level of the building. This will provide a
further 113 workstations, ranging from a two-person office to a
large open-plan space that could accommodate 58 people.
Work on this second phase is under way with completion due
towards the end of this month (September). On completion, Orega's
business centre at Colmore Plaza will offer a total of 17,500 sq
ft, which includes a separate reception area together with meeting
rooms on the ground floor.
Reflecting the strong level of interest in this type of space,
Orega has already attracted an occupier to the second phase. IT
recruitment company Applause IT Limited has signed for eight
workstations and will relocate from its existing offices at Moseley
Gate on the outskirts of the city.
Caron Salter-Hill, Orega's sales and business centre manager in
Birmingham, says: "Applause IT secured the space 'off-plan' which
is quite unusual for serviced offices and underlines the appeal of
Colmore Plaza business centre to the professional community. It's a
great start for our second phase, especially as we also have
serious interest in a further significant amount of space."
Mark Harris, director of The Carlyle Group, which owns Colmore
Plaza, adds: "Colmore Plaza is one of Birmingham's premier office
locations, located right at the heart of the city's business
district. These high-quality serviced offices align perfectly with
our ethos of providing a truly outstanding and varied offer and I
am extremely pleased that Orega has succeeded in securing occupiers
for this latest phase of its development so quickly."
