Colmore Plaza has scooped an award for the ‘Best Commercial Workplace’ in the Midlands and East Anglia at The British Council for Offices National awards.

Located in the heart of the Colmore Business District, Colmore Plaza was recognised as a world-class office development with a superior specification, unrivalled technology and first class architecture.

Mark Harris, director of The Carlyle Group, said: “To win a British Council for Offices award for Colmore Plaza is the ultimate accolade. It’s extremely satisfying, particularly as the award is highly regarded as a stamp of approval by the industry.

“Colmore Plaza is one of the biggest office schemes of its type outside central London. From the outset the high quality office space has significantly contributed to the profiling of the city and represents the growing requirement from the professional community.

Other Midlands winners included Fort Dunlop, the new home of The Birmingham Post, for the Refurbished/Recycled Workplace award, and eOffice, Norfolk House – winners of the Small Projects award category.
