Description
The Lewis Building’s grand exteriors hark back to a period when the building enjoyed much-loved status as Birmingham’s leading department store. Creating a strong and imposing presence the Portland stone façades, with their classic detailing deliver a building that exudes character and style.
In direct contrast, the refurbished interiors of The Lewis Building are distinctly contemporary. The entrance area featuring high quality finishes transform the experience at street level and the flexible 16,600 sq ft floorplates exceed the ever-changing demands of todays modern occupiers.
With floor to ceiling heights of 2.75 metres the spacious floorplates will create stylish and characterful workspaces to suit any occupier.
The Lewis Building has been designed to achieve a high level of sustainability both during construction and in operation. The building features low-energy LED lighting and high efficiency heating, air-conditioning, water supply and ventilation systems. During construction all waste materials from the building were graded for recycling and a target of 95% was set by our strip-out partners for redirecting iron and steel, wood, plaster and mixed materials, all avoiding disposal to landfill. Consideration has been given throughout the building in the use of sustainable materials. The most impressive examples of this is in the reception hall waiting areas. Upcycled original Azobé wood from decommissioned Danish wharves has been used to dramatic effect in the build of Thors tables and benches in the library and seated waiting areas.
The Lewis Building also has the benefit of dual planning use, both Use Class E and F1 are in place allowing the building to accommodate both office and educational provider requirements.
Location
Cities provide the right blend of modern working environments, culture and entertainment that people demand. Birmingham is enjoying a period of rapid change and the quality of life and culture on offer is growing too. Large scale retail developments such as Grand Central, The Mailbox and The Bullring successfully rub shoulders with small independent food outlets creating bespoke and niche fare. The stunning Library of Birmingham which opened in 2013, is considered Europe’s biggest public cultural space and is a beacon in the city for learning and exhibitions. Birmingham contains a vibrant mix of different flavours with a number of Michelin-starred restaurants based in and around the city centre.
The Lewis Building is superbly located to benefit from Birmingham city centre’s excellent transport connections. Birmingham New Street Station which forms part of the Grand Central retail development and is the UK’s busiest rail hub outside the capital. Snow Hill and Moor Street stations are within 10 minutes’ walk time and the proposed HS2 Curzon Street Station, due for completion in 2026, will also be on the doorstep.
The building’s city centre location allows easy access to the national motorway network via the M5, M6 and M42. The recently completed £40 million runway extension at nearby Birmingham Airport has significantly increased capacity, enabling direct flights to the United States, China, and the Middle East.
