Orion Media, the company behind leading Midlands radio station
BRMB, has extended its lease at Nine Brindleyplace until 2021.
The new seven year lease will take effect following the
completion of the current contract, set to expire in
2014.
A part of the award-winning Brindleyplace estate, which is owned
and operated by Estate owners Hines Global REIT and Moorfield Group
(Moorfield), Nine Brindleyplace occupies an enviable position,
fronting on to Broad Street, one of Birmingham's busiest arterial
roads. The building also benefits from rear access to the beautiful
Oozell's Square, one of the city's finest urban public spaces.
Igor Mathias of Hines, said: "Nine Brindleyplace is an
exceptional building, and through on going work such as the
scheduled refurbishment of the reception area, we intend to
maintain its fresh, contemporary feel. We are, of course, extremely
pleased that Orion Media will be extending its current lease and
are now looking forward to working with Orion Media both now and
into the future."
Jeremy Marchant, Moorfield, said: "As a destination,
Brindleyplace provides occupiers with the perfect balance of
accessible, convenient amenities by day and a multitude of bars and
entertainment options once the working day is done.
"Brindleyplace is a truly unique destination right at the heart
of the city's burgeoning Convention Quarter, offering outstanding
connectivity, an excellent location and well-deserved reputation as
one of the city's leading business destinations, all of which
creates an extremely attractive proposition, both for existing and
prospective occupiers."
Orion Media operates radio stations including BRMB, Beacon,
Mercia, Gem 106, Wyvern and Gold (Birmingham), broadcasting
throughout the West Midlands.
Phil Riley, Chief Executive, Orion Media, said: "As a
high-profile media organisation, our location fronting onto Broad
Street is absolutely perfect. This building offers a truly
outstanding level of quality and as we were keen to consolidate a
number of our other services into one location, extending our
existing lease at Nine Brindleyplace was the logical step. I am now
looking forward to building on our existing relationship with Hines
& Moorfield at Nine Brindleyplace."
Brindleyplace boasts an extremely diverse mix of commercial
tenants, including Deloitte, RBS, Deutsche Bank and GVA. A full
range of bars, restaurants and leisure amenities are also available
across the estate, including Café Rouge, the Handmade Burger
Company, Bannatyne's Health Club, and Bank bar and restaurant.
