Brum music icon for sale

The building that houses one of Birmingham’s most iconic music venues has been put up for sale by Birmingham Properties Group.

BPG selling the fully let, freehold three-storey Georgian property, which includes The Jam House, plus adjoining offices at 3 and 5 St Paul’s Square for £3.26m – a yield of 7.25% – via BNP Paribas Real Estate.

The buildings comprise a total of 13,336 sq ft of space and 16 car parking spaces and generate an annual rent roll of £250,120 pa, which equates to £18 per sq ft.

The sale of the building, located in the city’s historic Jewellery Quarter, will not affect the running of the live music venue, which has had a long association with musician Jools Holland, since he helped to launch it in 1999. The building has a further 18 years remaining on its lease, with the adjoining offices having similar leases.

BNP Paribas Real Estate’s Oliver Forster said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a piece of Birmingham history in the city’s popular Jewellery Quarter.

“Not only is this a very attractive building in an old part of the city centre, it is home to a very well-established and successful live music venue and will be sold as a transfer of a business as a going concern.

John Tebbutt, managing director of BPG, said the sale of The Jam House would enable the company to reinvest in other development projects.
