AP UK (Ashtrom Properties) has appointed McLaren Construction as Construction Manager for the refurbishment of Colmore Gate, transforming the landmark tower into a Grade A office building in the heart of Birmingham’s business district.

Originally built in the 1990s, Colmore Gate occupies a prime city-centre location between Colmore Row and the Snow Hill Business District. The building sits opposite Snow Hill Station and is just a six-minute walk from the new HS2 station at Birmingham Curzon Street. Once refurbished, the tower will offer 290,000 square feet of Grade A office space, strengthening its position as a key commercial address in the city.

Managing Director for Construction Management & Specialist Projects at McLaren Construction, Vince Lydon, said: “This is a further success for McLaren’s construction management delivery model which allows us to form a true partnership with our client and involve the supply chain early on in the process.”

AP UK CEO Guy Lewinsohn added: “We are delighted to be moving forward with the transformation of Colmore Gate, a landmark building at the heart of Birmingham’s business district. This project reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable Grade A office space that meets the evolving needs of occupiers and supports the city’s growth as a leading hub for business. We look forward to working in close partnership with McLaren to bring our vision for this building to life.”
