Why it Pays to Compare the Whole Birmingham Flexible Office Space Market?

When choosing business space in Birmingham, several considerations are often involved, such as precise location, pricing, local amenities, technical specification of a building, branding considerations, such as the perception of a building or location, and many others.

As the office space market rapidly evolves, the choice of the type of agreement under which a company holds office space is now also a consideration. Many companies no longer just search for office space to rent when seeking space but also non-leased office options such as serviced offices, managed offices, and various shared workspace options.

With these latter options that are usually held by way of licence, there are further considerations such as branding rights, customisation and security of tenure.

Another consideration is privacy and GDPR when contemplating shared office spaces.

Due to many flex office providers owning whole properties or leasing whole office buildings, there is often an option whereby an occupier can occupy an office floor for themselves or at least rent an office suite with its own front door, for instance.

A concern for most occupiers is privacy, although office space operators and providers can often provide banking-grade security and networking. For instance, Goldman Sachs occupies a floor of WeWork’s space on Colmore Row.

As office-based companies from all sectors look for strategies for making their businesses future-proof and recession-proof, these consistently involve ensuring their office spaces are Covid-compliant, agile, secure, employee-centric and efficiently priced.

Flexible office space providers in Birmingham, as well as traditional office space landlords, are now creating more solutions that meet all of these needs.

Whilst this is an absolutely positive trend for occupiers, the plethora of options can sometimes make searching somewhat overwhelming.

Of course, renting conventional office space in Birmingham remains a preferred choice for many businesses.

In 2022, for instance, insurance firm Gallagher signed a 10-year lease for just over 12,000 square feet of office space at 103 Colmore Row, a 26-storey office skyscraper in Birmingham city centre.

And in September 2024, international law firm Trowers & Hamlin announced it had signed a 10-year lease at One Snowhill for 17,000 square feet, moving from 10 Colmore Row, where it has been for over 13 years.

While the rented space market remains strong, there is growing demand from businesses for flexible contracts for business space, and with this comes a growing supply of varying office space formats.

Whilst this is great for businesses, it can make comparing options somewhat overwhelming at times.
