Plans for the third commercial building at Birmingham's Arena Central development have been unveiled.

3 Arena Central will offer 182,181 sq ft of high quality space over ground and nine upper floors, including 165,174 sq ft of Grade A offices on efficient floorplates of up to 18,299 sq ft, set around an offset core.

Jonathan Wallis, Arena Central Developments Ltd, said: "As a strategic asset within the city, Arena Central is well positioned to benefit from the ongoing investment in Birmingham's essential infrastructure elements, such as the redevelopment of New Street Station and extension to the Midland Metro tram.

"Coupled with the proposed reinvigoration of public spaces like Centenary Square, this makes Arena Central one of the very best located, most well positioned and deliverable commercial schemes in both Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

"Funding is currently being sought to develop 3 Arena Central on a speculative basis and we will be submitting a detailed planning application for the development shortly."

Opening directly onto Bank Court, the centrepiece of the development's brand new landscaped public realm, 3 Arena Central's ground floor will feature a fully fitted reception and circa 7,500 sq ft of retail or restaurant amenity.

The building's three basement levels will also provide capacity for 66 car parking spaces, over 40 secure cycle spaces and associated locker and shower facilities.

Located in Birmingham city centre, Arena Central is bordered by Broad Street, Bridge Street, Holliday Street and Suffolk Street Queensway and is adjacent to Centenary Square, one of Birmingham's most high-profile public spaces, which is due to undergo an £8m refurbishment.

The extension to the Midland Metro tram, work on which is already underway, will include a stop on Broad Street, directly adjacent to the Arena Central site, further enhancing the site's connectivity to the rest of the city.
