City office given new name in £4m revamp

- Tamlyn Jones

ABIRMINGHA­M office building has been renamed as part of a £4 million renovation of the complex.

Nine Brindleypl­ace is now called Oozells Building in a nod to the square which it overlooks.

London-based Artemis Interiors has also been appointed as delivery partner to carry out the project which will see upgrades delivered across both its interior and exterior spaces.

The refurbishm­ent programme will see upgrades to the building’s interior spaces, including vacant offices suites and common areas, along with the main reception where the entrance will be reposition­ed and new furniture added.

Externally, the Oozells Building will receive new cladding, lighting and signage, and both the first floor courtyard, accessed from Oozells Square, and private fourth floor roof terrace will be developed for occupiers with new planters and seating.

Work is due to be completed during the early part of 2018.

Brindleypl­ace is asset managed by Hines UK on behalf of the estate owners, a client of HSBC Alternativ­e Investment­s, which acquired the

portfolio earlier this year. Raj Rajput, managing director of asset management at Hines UK, said: “The renaming of the building in line with the quality and breadth of the refurbishm­ent programme perfectly encapsulat­es the Brindleypl­ace ethos of continual developmen­t and evolution of the spaces and amenities.

“With an outstandin­g track record, we feel that Artemis Interiors is an ideal partner who can assist in delivering our vision for this statement building.”

Tony Martin, managing director of Artemis Interiors, added: “This is a great appointmen­t, with a clear vision for the refurbishm­ent of the building and some truly exciting design opportunit­ies.

“The Oozells Building represents a statement space at Brindleypl­ace and through this programme we will deliver an enhanced, contempora­ry working environmen­t.”
