First Midland Bank building hits the market for nearly £1.5 million
Part of the first ever branch of the old Midland Bank that became its national headquarters is on the market for nearly £1.5 million.
West Bromwich property agents Bond Wolfe Commercial is handling the sale of 33 Bennetts Hill in Birmingham city centre.
James Mattin, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Commercial, said they had been inundated with early interest within days of bringing the office suite to the market.
The old HSBC premises are also home to the Cosy Club on the ground floor. It is not part of the sale.
The 5,544 sq ft open plan office suite above has its own ground floor front door with stairs and lift access to the upper floors.
The property is being offered for sale at £1,475,000, and is also considered suitable for other uses, subject to planning consent.
Mr Mattin said: “This is a rare opportunity to purchase office space right at the heart of the Colmore business district, close to all the major professional firms and handy for transport connections at New Street Station, Snow Hill Station and the Midland Metro.
“The open plan configuration, with a number of private offices or meeting rooms around the perimeter of the floor space, would seem to be ideal for the likely post-Covid style of flexible working.
“The address also has the benefit of being located in a very vibrant quarter of the city and as Birmingham reawakens from the latest lockdown and the streets become busy once again, this is an added attraction for businesses looking for a good work-life balance.”
