V7 has appointed RED Construction Group’s special projects division to complete the £18.7m retrofit and redevelopment of the 78-90 Colmore Row office building in Birmingham.
The project will involve an intricate ‘cut and carve’ office refurbishment, restoring the building’s period details while introducing a new fifth floor office extension, a new roof terrace overlooking Birmingham Cathedral and new cycle parking, changing facilities and showers.
Nathan Farrar, managing director of RED special projects, said: “RED Construction Group is firmly established across London and the South West, with controlled and considered plans to expand our presence across the Midlands. Colmore Row marks the second project in the region, following the development and delivery of 60 lodge-style, themed guest rooms at Merlin Entertainment’s Warwick Castle.”
“We are well equipped for the intricacies demanded of the Colmore Row project, works of this nature and scale are what we at special projects do best, and we are proud to be partnering with V7 on what will be an exemplar office and commercial space in a vital hub of commerce for the UK’s second city.”
Zak Veasey, co-founder and director at V7, added: “We’ve been ambitious in what we are looking to accomplish with Colmore Row, a wellness-focused high quality office space with exceptional commercial opportunities, set to make its mark on Birmingham’s city centre. We appreciate the level of expertise RED Construction Group’s special projects’ team bring with them and know they will make a key contribution that will transform the building while maintaining the legacy it already possesses.”
