BPP has taken a 20,000 sq ft space in Brindleyplace

Leading professional education provider BPP has chosen Brindleyplace as the new home for its Birmingham operation, relocating from Colmore Circus.

BPP, one of Europe’s most recognised education businesses, delivers apprenticeships, short courses and professional qualifications across law, finance, technology and beyond, serving leading global organisations at every stage of professional development.

The provider has taken 20,000 sq ft at 3 Brindleyplace on a 10-year lease. This is among the largest office lettings to complete in Birmingham this year. 

Occupying part of the ground and first floors since early April, BPP’s new space features a dedicated canal-facing entrance, eleven classrooms with flexible configurations, online delivery rooms, student support areas and the latest audio-visual technology, modelled on its London flagship at Portsoken Street.

Mark Griffiths, BPP’s chief property officer, said: “Brindleyplace makes complete sense for us. Its location is in the heart of a vibrant part of the city, transforming into an educational hub, and reflects our commitment to creating the best possible learning environment for our students.”

Knight Frank, Newmark and Savills acted as joint letting agents for Praxis, which owns Brindleyplace. Jaggard Macland represented BPP.

Matt Long, asset manager at Praxis, said: “Welcoming BPP to Brindleyplace signals an exciting time for the estate and is a significant endorsement of the quality of workspace and environment being delivered here.”
