Flexible office provider Orega has attracted another five
occupiers to its Colmore Plaza business centre in Birmingham less
than a month after completing work on its second phase
extension.
All five companies are in the field of professional services
with all but one taking space in Orega's newly fitted out, 7,500 sq
ft second phase. The latest deals, totalling 41 workstations, mean
that more than two-thirds of the 17,500 sq ft business centre is
now occupied.
Law firm DWF last month (October) took up occupancy of 15
workstations within the new phase two to establish its first
Birmingham office. The national business has seven office locations
and employs 1,400 people. Another law firm, Simon Burn Solicitors,
a rapidly growing niche litigation firm, has taken on a
two-workstation office and has plans to expand in the city in the
future.
Arista Insurance is to occupy 12 workstations in phase two from
November this year on a two-year contract. The firm of underwriters
operates from eight locations around England and is moving its
Birmingham base from Temple Row.
The fourth new client for the second phase is international
recruitment company PSD which is moving from its existing offices
in Colmore Row to Colmore Plaza. It is due to occupy six
workstations in November on a one-year contract.
MSILM - Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (London Management) Ltd - is
the fifth new signing and now occupies six workstations in the
first phase on a two-year contract. The offices also give MSILM a
Birmingham base for the first time.
Caron Salter-Hill, Orega's sales and business centre manager in
Birmingham, says: "Demand for the second phase has just snowballed
since we signed the first client, Applause IT, 'off-plan'.
Professional services firms in particular have shown great interest
in moving from elsewhere in the central business core to our
well-appointed, well-serviced office accommodation. We are
confident of filling much of the remaining second phase space in
the next few months."
Orega's business centre is on the ground floor and mezzanine
level of the 14-storey landmark office building owned by The
Carlyle Group.
