Paul Bassi’s Real Estate Investors is selling the freehold of 85-89 Colmore Row in the heart of Birmingham’s central business district.
The AIM-listed UK property investor wants £7.7m for the 24,860 sq ft multi-let building – a yield of 6.5%. The annual rent roll is £528,451.
The listed building occupies a prime location at the junction of Colmore Row and Newhall Street and sits opposite 103 Colmore Row – known locally as the NatWest Tower – which is under offer to Sterling Property for circa £15m.
Knight Frank is advising REI on the sale. Birmingham office head, Ashley Hudson, said it was the right point in the current property cycle to sell. “The 85-89 Colmore Row property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a prestigious freehold office building in a 100% prime location in Birmingham city centre.”
Tenants include Fleetmilne (Birmingham), LG Properties UK and The Royal College of Surgeons. The building has just over 8,000 sq ft of space available.
