Following the announcement of a \u00a375M forward funding deal, Wirral Growth Company partners have joined together to celebrate work starting on two Grade A office buildings<\/a> in Birkenhead town centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Totalling 13,900m2<\/sup>, the BREEAM<\/a> \u2018Excellent\u2019-rated office buildings have been forward funded by institutional investor Canada Life Asset Management and are due for completion in autumn 2023, with Morgan Sindall Construction named as its contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two new office buildings mark a significant milestone in the transformation of Birkenhead, being the second Grade-A development in the area since the Queensgate development in 2014. They form the central hub of a new business and leisure<\/a> quarter being developed in the heart of Birkenhead, which will enable the borough to attract further significant investment and create more opportunities for local people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the two five-storey office developments will be occupied by Wirral Council, with the other available for businesses to lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wirral Growth Company is a 50:50 joint venture partnership between Wirral Council and national urban regeneration specialist, Muse Developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Horner, Development Director at Muse Developments and Director of Wirral Growth Company, said: \u201cThere\u2019s a shortage of Grade A office stock across the Liverpool City Region and, despite changing working habits, there\u2019s still demand out there. Businesses are choosing to prioritise quality in their workspaces and looking for offices that are more flexible<\/a> and suited to modern working practices. By creating this offer in Birkenhead, it\u2019s a statement of intent that we\u2019re serious about helping the town to level up its commercial offer, so that local people can be just as excited about its future as we are. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing the development progress over the months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
