The 140,546 sq ft former home of HSBC at 120 Edmund Street, in Birmingham’s core commercial district, has been put up for sale as a repositioning opportunity.
The vacant building comprises two basement levels, a ground and eight upper floors, all featuring adaptable 17,500 sq ft floorplates capable of catering to either a single occupier or multiple tenants.
Planning permission for a 40,000 sq ft extension and complete refurbishment of the building was granted in 2024.
Nick Woodward, head of CBRE’s Birmingham investment team, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “The Birmingham market is currently experiencing a major shortage of Grade A supply, with no new schemes being progressed and record regional rents being set. 120 Edmund Street is one of very few buildings able to deliver high quality office space into the local market within the next few years.
“Currently vacant, stripped-out and with planning permission already granted, this building is a rare blank canvas, ready for an investor to take charge of the building’s design, specification and leasing strategy. 120 Edmund Street can capitalise on the favourable dynamics of the occupational market and answer the city’s medium term supply gap.”
