Valeo completes ‘best in class’ Colmore repositioning

Estilo Interiors has completed the transformation of 35 Newhall Street in Birmingham’s Colmore Business District for Valeo Capital and has been appointed to carry out a further fit-out within the building.

The 54,369 sq ft office scheme spans eight floors and has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment to create a Grade A workplace aimed at attracting occupiers to the city centre.

The project has focused on retaining and upgrading the existing building, with improvements to its services and fabric helping it achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating and an EPC A rating.

Five floors of CAT A office accommodation have been created, alongside new social and collaborative spaces including a sky lounge and communal roof terrace.

Works have included the remodelling of the ground floor reception, featuring a new aluminium-glazed entrance portal, as well as replacement passenger lifts and upgraded end-of-journey facilities at basement level.

“We’re proud of the redevelopment we’ve completed at 35 Newhall Street and pleased to be continuing our involvement through the CAT A+ fit out,” said Andrew Moore, managing director at Estilo Interiors.

“Being appointed for the next stage of the project is not only a reflection of the quality of work carried out so far but the strength of the relationship we’ve built with Valeo Capital.

“35 Newhall Street shows what can be achieved by investing in an existing building. With limited supply of new office stock coming forward in Birmingham, projects like this will play an increasingly important role in providing high quality space for occupiers.”

Externally, the building’s façade has been upgraded with new stone cladding and improvements to the curtain walling system, designed to improve its energy efficiency.

Following completion of the main refurbishment, Estilo Interiors has been appointed to deliver two fully fitted CAT A+ office suites on the first floor.

Matt Doyle, director at Valeo Capital, added: “Our ambition from the outset was to reposition 35 Newhall Street within Birmingham’s office market by building on its excellent location and creating a destination that meets the expectations of today’s occupiers.

“We wanted to deliver a best-in-class workplace that combines sustainability with the amenities and shared spaces businesses are looking for when choosing their next office.”

The suites will form part of the building’s launch to the market this month.
