Colmore Plaza
Regionl BCO Award Winner of Commercial Workplace 2008

Birmingham’s Colmore Plaza sits comfortably in its space and will be well regarded for a clear, spacious layout, quality interior and high specification.

The building’s entrepreneurial nature was not lost on the judges. It was gutsy to construct what the developer claims was the largest speculative office building at the time outside London and in a position outside the central prime core.

The national judges were impressed by a very good BREEAM rating and the ingenuity involved in tackling structural issues. This included rafting over five basement floors and use of concrete reinforced by fibres rather than steel. That meant a big reduction in the carbon footprint.
