Property<\/a> has achieved planning permission for the next phase at its Arena Central development in Birmingham<\/h2>\n<p>The scheme known as 5 Centenary Square (5CS) is the third office block to be developed at Kier Property\u2019s city centre \u2018Arena Central\u2019 location.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham City Council\u2019s<\/a> planning committee voted unanimously to award planning consent to the design, which was by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makearchitects.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Make Architects<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/kier-arena-central\/53042\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The arena<\/a> will include just over 200,000ft\u00b2 of total lettable office space and will include dedicated car parking spaces and 160 cycling spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The ten-storey building will be part of the wider, mixed-use scheme to be built on the site in Broad Street where current occupiers include HSBC UK and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/hm-revenue-customs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HMRC<\/a>, which is currently being fitted-out.<\/p>\n<h3>An important part of the city\u2019s regeneration<\/h3>\n<p>Mark Robinson, director at Kier Property, said: \u201cWe are pleased to achieve this significant milestone having revised our original plans to include an extra storey for offices and it\u2019s great we\u2019re now able to offer just over 200,000ft\u00b2 of much-needed total lettable office space in the centre of Birmingham.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greg Willis at Make Architects, added: \u201cWith the changes on Broad Street to accommodate the new tram network and the recent overhaul of Centenary Square, this development will finally complete the frontage onto the square, with a distinctive fa\u00e7ade that pays homage to its heritage neighbours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an important part of the masterplan, drawing people in and through the site which was formerly inaccessible as the old ATV studios and we welcome the commitment by Kier and BCC to this important part of the city\u2019s regeneration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project is expected to commence on site in the third quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kier Property has achieved planning permission
