Flexible office provider takes additional space at Colmore Plaza

Article posted: 08 Sep 2011

Flexible office provider Orega will take an additional 7,500 sq ft of office space in Birmingham city centre at the landmark Colmore Plaza following an agreement with owner The Carlyle Group.

Following the outstanding success of Orega’s existing business at Colmore Plaza, with 10,000 sq ft of space now fully occupied and the continued demand for space, Orega will take an additional 7,500 sq ft on the mezzanine level of the building. This will provide a further 113 workstations, ranging from a two-person office to a large open-plan space that could accommodate 58 people.

Work on this second phase is under way with completion due towards the end of this month. On completion, Orega’s business centre at Colmore Plaza will offer a total of 17,500 sq ft, which includes a separate reception area together with meeting rooms on the ground floor.

Reflecting the strong level of interest in this type of space, Orega has already attracted an occupier to the second phase. IT recruitment company Applause IT Limited has signed for eight workstations and will relocate from its existing offices at Moseley Gate on the outskirts of the city.

Mark Harris, director of The Carlyle Group, which owns Colmore Plaza, said: "Colmore Plaza is one of Birmingham’s premier office locations, located right at the heart of the city’s business district. These high-quality serviced offices align perfectly with our ethos of providing a truly outstanding and varied offer and I am extremely pleased that Orega has succeeded in securing occupiers for this latest phase of its development so quickly."

Orega boasts business centres in 9 locations providing serviced offices in Bristol, Chertsey, Gatwick, High Holborn, Manchester, Slough, Staines and Wandsworth.
