Chord Developments has secured the biggest office letting in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter this year.
Global insurance brokerage Willis Group has taken 10,000 sq ft at the developers’s 40 St Paul’s Square, moving around the square from No 30.
Will Monaghan, lease manager at Willis, said: “Willis has been established in the Jewellery Quarter for many years and we were keen to remain here.
“40 St Paul’s Place fitted the bill as it is a landmark building in a convenient location and it offered the space we needed on one floor plate.”
The letting to Willis is Chord’s second following the launch of the commercial space in May this year – construction and fit-out business ISG took 3,314 sq ft last month. Savills and GBR Phoenix Beard are joint letting agents.
Nick Williams, head of office agency at Savills, said: “Chord has scored two significant lettings in a matter of months. It’s a ringing endorsement of the product and the location.”
BNP Paribas Real acted for Willis.
