Row, Birmingham
29 March 2021: UK Commercial Property REIT Limited ("UKCM" or
the "Company") (FTSE 250, LSE: UKCM), which is managed and advised
by Aberdeen Standard Investments* and owns a diversified portfolio
of high quality income-producing UK commercial property, announces
that it has agreed a 10 year lease for the 4,226 sq ft seventh
floor at 9 Colmore Row in Birmingham with law firm, Clarke Wilmott.
Clarke Wilmott is relocating from elsewhere in the city to 9
Colmore Row, which will become its national headquarters.
9 Colmore Row is a 10 storey office building with 69,000 sq ft
of Grade A office and ancillary retail space, currently let to
well-respected occupiers including Turley, Capital Dynamics, Brewin
Dolphin, BNP Paribas and Smith & Williamson, three of which
have renewed leases comprising over 18,000 sq ft in the last month.
UKCM recently completed an upgrade programme at the property, which
saw the reception area refurbished; the addition of a communal
meeting room and breakout space; and the delivery of a dedicated
cycling hub and health club quality changing facilities in the
basement.
Only the 9,194 sq ft fifth floor remains available, which
provides natural light-filled, open-plan working areas that offer
flexibility for a bespoke layout. 9 Colmore Row is centrally
positioned in Birmingham's active and vibrant business district,
with ample shops and restaurants nearby, including four that are
Michelin-starred, and is within walking distance of three railway
stations.
Will Fulton, Lead Manager of UKCM at Aberdeen Standard
Investments, said : "9 Colmore Row sits in the heart of
Birmingham's impressive commercial hub and benefits from excellent
transport links to and from the city. We have invested in the
property over the last few years to ensure that we can maximise its
potential and continue attracting the city's top businesses,
including Clarke Wilmott, as we emerge from the pandemic and
occupiers become more selective towards higher quality office
environments."
UKCM was advised by JLL.

from them, can go down as well as up, and an investor may get back
less than the amount invested.
