The newly revamped Lyndon House, a commercial office building on Hagley Road, Birmingham which was acquired by SevenCapital in late 2017, has secured two new lets, defying the challenges of the city’s lockdown.
Independent insurance start-up The Bletchley Group has taken 753 square feet (sq ft) of office space on the fourth floor of the 16 storey building, whilst IT company Moremicro will be moving from their current office on Islington Row to occupy a 2088 sq ft space on the 14th floor.
Lyndon House is situated within the realms of the thriving Edgbaston Estate and immediately opposite the entrance to Calthorpe Estate’s landmark New Garden Square regeneration project. Its location is also next to the upcoming Metro line which will provide fast, door to door connections to the city’s key business, retail and transport destinations when the line opens next year.
New facilities within Lyndon House include an upgraded reception, drying room, private tenants’ gym and shower facilities, with new interiors throughout. Office space varies from 753 sq ft to 33,475 sq ft and the building offers ample parking for tenants and visitors.
Sukhvir Sandhu, director at Moremicro said: “Lyndon House offers a great location, ample parking and an attractive interior following it’s refurbishment. But it was the fantastic views, newly built on-site gym and shower facilities that pushed it for us, alongside the immediate availability of high-speed fibre optic broadband, which is incremental to our business.
“The building staff are also extremely helpful and always go above and beyond providing a premium concierge service so overall, so far we’re one very happy tenant.”
Richard Brannigan, director at The Bletchley Group, said: “The high level specification throughout Lyndon House has been an asset to our team and will be of huge benefit to the company as we grow.”
Simon Dicken, director at SevenCapital added: “These two lettings demonstrate the unwavering appetite within Birmingham to keep business moving and get back to the office – where it is safe to do so. Measures are in place to ensure safe working for our new and existing tenants.
“Whilst we still have a little work left to complete, the majority of the building has now been refurbished and upgraded to cater to businesses of all sizes and we are actively working to secure further lets over the coming months.”
The two new lettings were agreed through BNP Paribas.
