Birmingham commercial campus acquired in £125m deal





Praxis and Veld Capital have bought Birmingham's Brindleyplace for £125m – with plans afoot to decarbonise the buildings to deliver “the best office and leisure space in the UK”.

Brindleyplace, a commercial campus that comprises office, retail, hospitality and leisure space and is home to a range of national brands, has been acquired in a deal worth £125M – the largest UK regional office deal of the year.

A joint venture between Praxis, a UK property investment and management platform, and Veld Capital, a private credit specialist investor, have swooped for the 14.9-acre canal-side campus from HSBC Alternative Investments.

The iconic “work-live-play” campus, developed by Argent in the early 2000s, is one of Birmingham’s most popular business and leisure destinations with a community of over 8,000 people.

It is home to several prime office buildings, ground-floor retail and leisure amenities, tree-lined streets and three public squares.

The estate is currently 90 per cent occupied, hosting blue-chip and local tenants like Deutsche Bank, Michael Page, Lloyds, Deloitte, Marsh, Lloyds, Café Nero, Q-Parks, Zizzi, Pret a Manger and Piccolino.

Brindleyplace has recently benefited from a new tram extension and public realm improvements, as well as the opening of the neighbouring Paradise development.

James Hewitt, COO at Praxis, said: "This is a hugely exciting acquisition for us. We are committed to ambitious Net Zero carbon targets for the assets we acquire, and the exceptional quality of the Brindleyplace scheme makes these buildings prime candidates for our retrofit strategy.

"Our intention now is to invest significant capital to decarbonise the buildings and deliver some of the best office and leisure space in the UK."

Sebastien Wigdo, partner at Veld Capital, added: "We are pleased to have acquired such a landmark, income-generating estate with strong existing ESG credentials and clear decarbonisation potential.

"This acquisition adds to our recently assembled portfolio of UK regional office properties with Praxis in what we believe is a once-in-a-cycle opportunity to invest and aggregate best-in-class properties, with strong fundamentals, at a very compelling entry basis.

"It also illustrates our pragmatic approach as a solutions-provider for sellers of high-quality assets in an uncertain economic climate."

Gerald Eve advised the purchaser. JLL and Acre Capital Real Estate advised the vendor.

Apex Lofts Nearing Completion in Digbeth





Apex Lofts is a brand new residential development that forms part of Birmingham’s transformational Rea Valley Urban Quarter.

Passing Curzon Street HS2 on the train and Apex Lofts with its sawtooth roofs come prominently into view. Work is scheduled to complete here later this year.


dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/CGI%20-%20Apex%20Lofts%20&%20Sapphire.jpg" />

 

The Warwick Street site, from 10M Group, just off High Street, is already an uplifting presence on the Digbeth skyline, rising to 9 storeys in an area now going through a resurgence.

Replacing a vehicle workshop, its design articulates cutting-edge features that encapsulates the rich industrial heritage of the area.

Apex Lofts will soon provide 33 one and 33 two-bedroom apartments along with 14 sizeable duplexes, including 10 discounted units.

There will be a rich array of facilities including a communal rooftop sky garden and outdoor gym space, with ground-level gardens and secure storage for 80 cycles and scooters.

The street itself is going through big changes with Hairpin House, next door, completing recently to become Digbeth’s first build-to-rent offering, bringing 237 homes to the vicinity.

In the coming months, Sapphire Court, from the team behind Apex Lofts, will deliver 166 more homes to the street – again, next door.

The site is in the process of being cleared, as seen below before full work gets underway.

The Construction of JQ Rise - August 2023





JQ Rise on Summer Hill Road is making an impressive contribution to the surrounding landscape at the gateway to the historic Jewellery Quarter and the Ladywood Estate.


dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/DJI_0307.png" />

 

JQ Rise is a contemporary residential development containing 226 stylish one- and two-bedroom apartments and a penthouse duplex.

Spread across three blocks ranging from four, eight & 25 storeys, the site is making great strides and will be set around an external communal garden, with 226 cycles and off-road parking.

JQ Rise consists of three key elements: a subservient four-storey next to a Victorian building on Goodman Street; a 25-storey corner tower with a top-floor recessed duplex; and an interlinked eight-storey fronting Summer Hill Road.

It is being developed offsite via a precast concrete modular building system before being craned into place, with each home set to feature integrated kitchens and bathroom suites, making it perfect for young professionals, couples, and even students.

JQ Rise is a development from Prosperity, designed by K4 and executed by CBP.
