Law firm Weightmans has chosen 103 Colmore Row in Birmingham as its new HQ.
The company has signed a 10-year lease on 12,132 sq ft of workspace. It will occupy the ninth floor of the building, which spans across 26 floors and measures 223,631 sq ft.
Weightmans will move 168 staff from St Philips Point, on Temple Row, where it has been based since 2006.
The deal takes 103 Colmore Row to 80% let or under offer. Other occupiers at the tower include Facepunch Studios; Colliers; Arcadis; RSM; Browne Jacobson; Gallagher; Grant Thornton; Knight Frank; Shoosmiths; Evelyn Partners (previously known as Tilney Smith & Williamson); and flexible workspace provider x+why.
The building is being developed by EPISO 4, a fund managed by Tristan Capital Partners, with joint venture partner Sterling Property Ventures.
Jawaid Rehman, partner and head of Weightmans’ Birmingham office, said: “In recent years we have really embraced ESG principles and worked hard to embed sustainability into our ‘business as usual’. The Birmingham office move is part of this plan, as the new site offers a low impact environmental footprint and a host of other ethical and emission reducing benefits.”
The office space is being marketed by Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield and Knight Frank.
