The much publicised HS2 rail project, which will unite the area with London, is likely to stimulate further investment, making the city one of the most commercially attractive cities in Europe. Significant investment from home and abroad should help to alleviate the city’s unemployment problem in the coming years, making Birmingham a European hub for international business. The city is regarded as the 18th best city in Europe in which to locate a business (1), providing access to over 100,000 graduates, with competitive advantage in areas like automotive and aerospace research. Commercial Property – Industrial Units, Office Space to Rent 3 A guide to business in Birmingham Key commercial property trends With the development of the HS2 rail project, Birmingham is bracing itself for a boom in commercial property demand, with multi-national firms encouraged to use the city as their primary British base. While demand has slowed down following the financial crisis, the office, industrial and retail sectors are expected to exceed the rest of the UK average until 2015: Source: GVA Regional Cities Seminar: Invest in Birmingham/IPD REFL Jan 2011 Speculative developments like the city centre Paradise Circus project are likely to be completed, offering new Grade-A office plots, along with retail space, hotel and entertainment facilities.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 2 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 2: Centenary Square to Brindleyplace Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton This area of central Birmingham has undergone significant redevelopment over the last two decades. Centenary Square, the focus of many exercises, realised and imagined, of civic centre planning is dominated by Symphony Hall and new Library of Birmingham (by Francine Houben and completed in 2013) and the areas west of Gas Street Basin are unrecognisable today from the derelict industrial remains and factories that were here in the 1970s and 80s. Now this region is a thriving cultural and business centre. This walking tour takes in the building stones used in old and new buildings and sculpture from Centenary Square, along Broad Street to Oozells Square, finishing at Brindleyplace. Brindleyplace; steps are of Portland Stone and the paving is York Stone, a Carboniferous sandstone. The main source on architecture, unless otherwise cited is Pevsner’s Architectural Guide (Foster, 2007) and information on public artworks is largely derived from Noszlopy & Waterhouse (2007). This is the second part in a three-part series of guides to the building stones of Birmingham City Centre, produced for the Black Country Geological Society. The walk extends the work of Shilston (1994), Robinson (1999) and Schroder et al. (2015). The walk starts at the eastern end of Centenary Square, at the Hall of Memory. Hall of Memory A memorial to those who lost their lives in the Great War, The Hall of Memory has a prominent position in the Gardens of Centenary Square.
