BIRMINGHAMKnown as the ‘city of a thousand trades’, Birmingham is now the UK’s second biggest city with a population of 2.8 million people expanding to 4.3 million in the wider Birmingham metropolitan area. Following unprecedented levels of investment and development, the City’s renaissance has established itself as the strongest economic centre outside of London and home to over 500,000 employees, the highest of any regional UK city. The City is also home to three major Universities and with a high graduate retention of 49%, makes it Europe’s youngest major city with nearly 40% of the population under 25 contributing to a skilled & talented workforce.

With over 600 parks and more open space than Paris, Birmingham is one of the UK’s greenest cities.

SITUATIONDefined by historic and landmark buildings, Central Hall occupies a prominent corner site in Birmingham’s characteristic Victorian Quarter on the junction of Corporation Street and Ryder Street, opposite the terracotta Victoria Law Courts and neighbouring the Crown Court. Corporation Street serves as an arterial commercial street and the spine of the Victorian Quarter extending from Birmingham New Street Train Station to James Watt Queensway.
Central Hall occupies a convenient location for both leisure and business visitors located in close proximity to the City’s core corporate and leisure demand drivers. Birmingham’s major central business districts in Snow Hill and Colmore Row situated 300 and 400 metres southwest respectively boasts international legal and financial corporate occupiers including KMPG, Barclays, Shoosmiths and Ernst & Young.

The Property benefits from excellent accessibility to the wider regional transport network with direct road access to the adjacent James Watt Queensway connecting to the Queensway ring road. The City’s key public transport nodes – New Street, Snow Hill, Moor Street, Curzon Street train stations - all lie within a 500 metre walk from the Property including the proposed new Curzon Street Station to serve HS2 which will be situated just 300 metres to the southeast.

ROAD
Located centrally in the UK within the Midlands, Birmingham is well served by the motorway network including access to the M5, M6, M40 and M42 resulting in approximately 90% of the UK’s population and businesses to be located within four hours travel time. Typical drive times are as seen on the adjacent map.
RAIL
The £1 billion regeneration of Birmingham New Street Station together with Grand Central has cemented the station’s status as the busiest outside of London serving 43.7 million passengers in 2018, 32.8% higher than Glasgow Central in second place. Together with Snow Hill, Moor Street and Curzon Street train stations, Birmingham sits at the heart of the UK rail network with direct access to London Euston and Marylebone, Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle. The NEC and Birmingham International Airport can be reached in just 11 minutes.
The proposed arrival of HS2 in 2026 will deliver a new dedicated terminus at Birmingham Curzon Street, which will significantly improve the City’s connectivity to London with proposed journey times of just 49 minutes. Phase 2 of the project is outlined to connect the City to Manchester and Leeds further improving the City’s connectivity to the wider UK.
MIDLAND METRO
The West Midlands Metro connects Birmingham City Centre to Wolverhampton and is expected to benefit from £1.3 billion investment over the next 10 years into the extension of existing lines across Greater Birmingham and the Black Country which is expected to add £50 million per year to the region’s economy and create around 1,500 jobs.
AIR
Located 9.8 miles (15.8 km) to the southeast of Birmingham city centre, Birmingham International airport ranks as the third largest airport outside of London, currently serving almost 13 million passengers annually to 143 destinations globally.

EXISTING METHODIST CENTRAL HALL Central Hall Birmingham is one of the City’s most culturally significant Victorian buildings forming part of Birmingham’s city centre skyline with its iconic tower. Prominently positioned and occupying a large area of Corporation Street, the Property is distinctively characterised by its stylish red brick and terracotta frontage, mirroring that of the Victoria Law Courts and the same bricks used at the Natural History Museum in Kensington, London.
Originally designed by Ewan Harper and James A. Harper in 1904, the four-storey Grade II* listed building once boasted an auditorium capable of seating 2,000 people in the main hall during its use as a Methodist place of worship. Following its conversion into a nightclub in 1991, the significant building totalling a Gross Internal Area of 90,417 sq ft (8,400 sq m) currently comprises the original large central hall and 19th Century organ with a range of subdivided rooms and service areas, together with ground floor retail shops fronting Corporation Street, Ryder Street and Dalton Street.

BIRMINGHAM HOTEL MARKET
Over the last five years, the Birmingham hotel market Revenue Per Available Room Rates have grown by 43.6% outlining its buoyancy whilst even taking into account an annualised growth rate of 4.6% of new supply per annum. Latest annualised Occupancy rates in 2018 of 76.3% and 85.2% respectively for Hotels and Aparthotels demonstrate the strength of the local market.
Since 2010, only two hotels have opened in the four or five star segment, whilst serviced apartments represent just 13.2% of the supply and with none expected in the active pipeline over the next three years. The proposed redevelopment of Central Hall into a premium hotel and aparthotel together with high quality F&B facilities in the centre of Birmingham will therefore provide a new destination offering at the quality end of the market.

BIRMINGHAM OFFICE MARKETBirmingham is positioned as one of the fastest growing tech economies in the UK and is one of the UK’s major ‘digital hubs’, with over 6,000 tech firms employing some 38,300 people. During the first quarter of 2019, Birmingham saw total commercial investment volumes of £140 million, of which £50 million was office investment, accounting for 36%. In addition to the investment market, the occupational market has remained strong, with take up of 194,014 sq ft at the end of the first quarter 2019, 48% above the same period in 2018 and 51% above the long-term quarterly average. Coupled with this, Birmingham is undergoing significant office development both through pre-lets and speculative development, with one million sq ft of new supply due in the next two years, approximately 59% of which is let prior-to-practical completion, demonstrating the strength and confidence in the city’s office market.
BIRMINGHAM RETAIL MARKETBirmingham is one of the largest UK retail centres in the UK with principle areas including New Street, Corporation Street and the Bullring. The city has a strong department store offering and is the only city in the UK outside of London that has prime retailers Harvey Nicholas, Selfridges, Debenhams and John Lewis present.
The introduction of the Grand Central scheme above New Street Train Station has had a transformative impact on the city’s retail landscape boasting occupiers including All Bar One, Camden Food Co., Hotel Chocolat, M&S and Wasabi. The continued occupational demand has resulted in a low vacancy rate of 8.1% compared to the national average of 10.2%. This has supported Prime Zone A rental growth to around £320 per sq ft with rental values on Corporation Street achieving approximately £130 per sq ft with national occupiers including EE and Urban Outfitters whilst prime yields in the city centre are achieving between 4.4% and 4.6%.
