2 Brindley Set For A Radical Upgrade

Two Brindley is to be upgraded with a new rooftop extension, providing additional office floorspace - and bringing the building up to 90K SF.

Birmingham City Council has given the green light for the low-carbon revamp to proceed.

As part of a radical net-zero upgrade, 2 Brindley is to be revitalised with a new single-storey, glazed rooftop extension, adding an additional 14,500K SF of office floorspace to the building.

Two new rooftop terraces will be formulated for tenants, while the facade to the ground, first, sixth & seventh floors will be overhauled and upgraded.

The ground level will also be dramatically improved, with all ramps, stairs, and balustrading set to be replaced with an uncluttered new entrance, lobby, and reception area. Within, generous facilities will include a unique wellness suite, fitness studio, changing areas, screening room, and a secure cycle hub for 128.

In order to achieve net-zero carbon, all M&E will be replaced with an all-electric energy-efficient system, with 80% of the structure remaining in place, ultimately cutting the scheme's embodied carbon by over 50 per cent, compared to a brand new-build office building.

New Plans To Reinvigorate Two Brindleyplace

Two Brindleyplace will be sustainably reinvigorated with new refurbishments & a roof-top extension, creating an additional 14,552 SF of office floorspace

Since opening its doors in 1997, the building has been let on a 25-year lease to a single occupier - a lease that expires in March 2022.

The building has seen limited investment since then but now presents a major opportunity to upgrade the building to provide a modern Category A sustainable workplace.

To remedy its poor relationship at ground floor level the site will see the removal of all existing ramps, stairs and balustrading, and the creation of a new two-storey entrance lobby and reception, allowing the building to spill out onto its elegant surroundings.

With new ground and first-floor facades introduced, the building will also undergo a wholesale replacement of all M&E to an all-electric, energy-efficient system as the client targets EPC-A and Net Zero Carbon.

Showers and lockers will be available alongside a staff screen room, a wellness suite, and a quiet room. A cycle hub will offer spaces for 122, alongside maintenance stands, and six EV charging points.

Perhaps the most noticeable feature will be at the building's peak. A new angled extension will be built, complete with a glazed roof and generous external amenity spaces, all finished off in a warm, dark bronze metal cladding.
