HSBC UK tops out new head office in Birmingham
HSBC UK’s new head office in Birmingham has been officially ‘topped out’ – an important milestone in the bank’s creation of its new head office at the heart of the UK.
The 210,000 sq. ft. head office at Centenary Square is due to open in January 2018 and the topping out ceremony represented the completion of the physical frame of the 10 storey building. Work has now begun on interior installations including internal walls, lift machinery and plumbing.
HSBC UK is investing over £200 million in Birmingham and moving more than 1,000 head office roles to the city from London before January 1, 2019. More than half of these roles are now accounted for through a combination of people moving from London already, people moving this year, and new hires into Birmingham.
