Property developer V7 has appointed Red Special Projects to transform 78-90 Colmore Row, a 1917 building in a Birmingham conservation area.

It is Red Construction Group’s first contract in Birmingham, as the 10-year-old business expands its regional presence from the south to the Midlands.

The project will involve a cut and carve office refurbishment, restoring the building’s period details while introducing a new fifth floor office extension, a new roof terrace overlooking Birmingham Cathedral and new cycle parking, changing facilities and showers.

Project architect is GPAD, structural engineer is Whitby Wood and building services engineer is Cundall.

Red Special Projects managing director Nathan Farrar said: “Red Construction Group is firmly established across London and the southwest, with controlled and considered plans to expand our presence across the Midlands. Colmore Row marks the second project in the region, following the development and delivery of 60 lodge-style, themed guest rooms at Merlin Entertainment’s Warwick Castle.

“We are well equipped for the intricacies demanded of the Colmore Row project, works of this nature and scale are what we at Special Projects do best, and we are proud to be partnering with V7 on what will be an exemplar office and commercial space in a vital hub of commerce for the UK’s second city.”

V7 co-founder and director Zak Veasey added: “We’ve been ambitious in what we are looking to accomplish with Colmore Row, a wellness-focused high-quality office space with exceptional commercial opportunities, set to make its mark on Birmingham’s city centre.  We appreciate the level of expertise Red Construction Group’s Special Projects’ team bring with them and know they will make a key contribution that will transform the building while maintaining the legacy it already possesses.”
