3.2.6 Offices
Plain English Version
The choices in the Birmingham Core Strategy suggest most grow will be in the city Centre. There are already a lot of major office buildings in the centre, from Five Ways Edgbaston and in Brindley Place, Broad St, Snow Hill and Colmore Row. The last pieces of Brindley Place is being built and there are lots of buildings just or nearly finished in ‘Colmore Plaza’ and Snow Hill. Eastside and the south end of the Jewellery Quarter are also places that are seen as for offices. The Jewellery Quarter is often used by professional companies.

The options in the emerging Birmingham Core Strategy focus office growth within the city centre. The city centre has a well defined belt of major office buildings, which stretches from the Fiveways area through Brindleyplace and Broad Street, to Snow Hill and Colmore Row, The last phase of Brindleyplace is under construction and there are several major schemes recently completed or under construction at Colmore Plaza and Snow Hill. Eastside and the southern end of the Jewellery Quarter are emerging parts of this office belt, with the latter forming a focus for professional offices.
