Hortons' Estate has launched the newly-refurbished Latham House, bringing nearly 27,000 sq ft of grade A office space on to the market.
The £1.8 million refurbishment combines the best of old and new, according to agents King Sturge, who are quoting rents of £19.75 per sq ft plus car parking for the Paradise Street premises.
Despite the top-to-bottom overhaul, Latham House, designed by A Gilbey Latham in 1911, still displays much of its original heritage.
The fine Edwardian baroque facade remains a rare example of this style in Birmingham - and is now fully restored, according to Rob Blyth, chief executive of Hortons' Estate.
"We are delighted with the refurbishment of this building - it has definitely exceeded our expectations and the amount of interest is very encouraging," he says.
"When we began this refurbishment we decided to create a mix of the traditional and modern and I think this has been very successful.
"The transformation has given the building a new lease of life and we now consider Latham House as one of our most prestigious office developments in Birmingham."
Located in the heart of the city centre, Latham House is only a short walk from the main transport hubs, the shops and convention quarter.
The added bonus of secure basement car parking makes this building a real gem in the current office market, according to Jon Carmalt, office agency partner at King Sturge.
"The refurbishment of Latham House has resulted in the provision of stunning bright office accommodation of a specification that will fulfil the needs of modern office occupiers," he says.
"The building is now ready to view and we anticipate strong interest bearing in mind the quality of product provided and the competitive quoting rent."
One of the key design elements of the building is the manned entrance hall, which features what is claimed to be Birmingham's first electronic tenant indicator board.
It can be programmed to display personalised greetings and other key messages to occupiers and their visitors, as well providing satellite TV connections.
A feature wall creates a unique piece of artwork and provides a dramatic backdrop to the entrance hall.
The wall - in various shades of red - curves up the stairwell, adopting the contemporary style and design of the buildings interior.
Typical floorplates measure in at 4,000 sq ft, according to Mr Carmalt, and all floors offer several layout options, providing plenty of scope for a whole range of businesses.
Other selling points are a newly-installed comfort cooling system, with independent controls on each floor, and suspended ceilings with recessed lighting.
