Orega continues its flex space expansion with new Partnership Agreement at Ingenuity House in Birmingham

Orega, the flexible workspace provider, has made a new Partnership Agreement with abrdn to create a high spec flexible workspace at Ingenuity House, Bickenhill Lane, Solihull, B37. The new space will open in January 2024. The 30,500 sq ft flexible workspace will be newly refurbished to provide around 550 workstations on the ground and first floors of the building. The building offers a unique communal atrium where all customers can enjoy hospitality led amenities and facilities. In a separate deal, Orega has pre-sold 150 desks on the 1st floor to a major financial services business on bespoke flexible terms, a real testament of the quality of the Orega offering within Ingenuity House. Ingenuity House is a unique, highly sustainable office building comprising 114,635 sq ft on five storeys, with a Grade A specification. It is an intelligent building and utilizes top grade integrated technology to successfully create a healthy and inspirational working environment, including using space occupation analysis systems to maximize space utility and energy consumption. It received both the Gold National and the Silver Regional Awards for Innovation at the BCO Awards in 2019 and the Celebrating Construction 2017 Digital Construction Project Award. It has a BREEAM score of 70% The building is located on one of the UK’s best commercial hubs, adjacent to Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station and close to the NEC, Resorts World and the Birmingham Interchange at HS2, currently under construction. Once complete HS2 will cut the Birmingham to London journey time from 1 hour 21 minutes to 52 minutes. The new workspace is designed to be a modern, flexible base for the area’s professional and financial businesses, and will offer brand new: It is the second flexible workspace that Orega has launched in Birmingham. It already offers space at The Colmore Building, 20 Colmore Circus, Queensway.The company now offers flex space from 25 locations across the UK and is the UK’s leading provider of flexible workspace under Management Agreements (as opposed to leases). Ben Hutchen, Real Estate Director at Orega, commented: “Ingenuity House is a unique building, which will attract a lot of interest from businesses who are increasingly looking for a flexible way to occupy property but also require high quality “state of the art” space. The popularity of flex space has been growing in Birmingham. According to CBRE*, the city now has 650,000 sq ft of flex space, an increase of 37% on 2022. Average occupancy rates in the city are high- at 85%.” “We are also delighted to have secured an early pre completion letting to a prime financial services business, which clearly demonstrates the quality of ‘flex’ demand. We are thrilled to have captured this within our joint venture agreement on behalf of abrdn.” Les Ross, Fund Manager, abrdn said, “We look forward to working with Orega on this new partnership, Ingenuity House is a high-quality asset with strong ESG credentials. We are committed to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings and we also have a responsibility to investors who want to ensure the way they invest is environmentally relevant. Given the high specification of this building we expect to attract significant interest from occupiers.” Will Kinnear of HEWN who advised abrdn in the letting to Orega commented, “The flexible workspace sector is flourishing in the regions, as hybrid working becomes business as usual. By their very nature, flexible workspaces are flexible and responsive to market conditions. abrdn understand this and the partnership with Orega, to provide a high-quality flex offering alongside a traditional office product will ensure that Ingenuity House can meet all demand in the area. This site is a gamechanger for the Midlands and the flexible workspace market.” CBRE’s out-of-town specialist, Michelle Mills, is retained by abrdn to lease the remainder of available space with colleague Dan White, head of flex advisory, Midlands and South, acting for Orega and the new occupier. Dan White said: “It’s no secret that take-up of flex product in Birmingham city centre is high, but the out-of-town market is under served. We’re thrilled to have helped Orega get a foothold here, with the pre-let demonstrating that the demand is there.” Michelle Mills added: “The addition of flex space at Ingenuity House will be a draw not only to footloose occupiers looking for high quality accommodation, but also to larger tenants who wish to take dedicated space but can scale-up as they grow within the building. It undoubtedly further boosts the appeal of this high spec and prominently located landmark office space.” Floorplates from 19,000 sq ft – 30,813 sq ft – the biggest along the M42 corridor – remain available at Ingenuity House.

We are really excited to commence works, have a unique and engaging design concept in place and are aiming to open its doors to our first tenants from spring 2024.” Established in 2018, Canvas Offices is on an exciting trajectory for growth after securing a £2.5 million in debt investment in October 2022, and boasts plans to further accelerate with the launch its first investment round this autumn.

Yorkshire-based construction company, Henley Stone Restoration & Remedials Ltd, part of the Henley Group, is restoring the traditional brickwork on a 19th century Grade II listed building complex, Rutland Mills, in Wakefield. The restoration and repair project will honour the 200-year-old architecture to transform the derelict building into a world class creative hub, Tileyard North. Once a thriving textile mill adjacent to the contemporary Hepworth Gallery at the edge of the river Calder, the 9,300sqm historical industrial complex has been derelict for 20 years and many of the spaces have significantly deteriorated. Award-winning restoration and remedial expert, Henley Stone Restoration & Remedials Ltd, has been appointed to oversee the restoration required to return the Grade II listed building to its former glory, honouring its original fabric and the region’s industrial heritage. The extensive work includes complete façade restoration, structural alterations and strengthening, as well as repairs to the existing building. Alongside Furness Brick & Tile Co Ltd and HSRR, Henley Group has identified replacement brick and mortar samples that match sensitively to the existing 19th century brickwork. Tom Cardoe, Head of Restoration at Henley Group, commented: “We’re proud to bring decades of restoration and remedial expertise to the regeneration of Rutland Mill, a landmark project which will significantly enhance the local economy – it will be The Battersea Power Station of the North”. “By carefully repairing and restoring the building’s fabric, we will bring this historical site back to its former glory and breath life back to this once forgotten part of Wakefield. Regeneration projects bring immediate benefits to the local area and these are the kind of projects we pride ourselves on.” Led by developers City & Principal, Stainforth Construction, architects Hawkins Brown and project manager, Opera, the site will become a thriving cultural hub with facilities for music and digital studios, start-ups, creatives, and the local community. The scheme will also create educational space, a hotel, food and drink and facilities complementary to the Hepworth Gallery. Adam Standeven, Contracts Manager at Stainforth Construction, said: ‘It’s great to work in collaboration with a local Wakefield Restoration company, especially one that always provides a professional service, with a team who have an incredibly positive attitude towards delivering top quality work on this heritage project.” Rutland Mills is the final stage in completing a ten-acre regeneration plan that is revamping Wakefield’s riverside. The wider plan converts the space into a mixed-use, inclusive, creative, and cultural cluster with world-class facilities. The first phase of works, comprising of four buildings across 60,000sqft, for several uses including a work and education space, event space, bistro café and gin bar, and a central courtyard, was completed in December 2022. The new central courtyard allows for breakout activity at the ground floor, as well as providing the opportunity for large scale events, such as music and food and drink festivals. The second will be completed phase by the final quarter in 2024.
