Global design, engineering and consultancy services business Arcadis is to relocate 500 staff across Birmingham city centre to a new home after signing an office deal.
The company has become the latest to agree a move to the newly built 103 Colmore Row, taking a ten-year lease for 12,132 sq ft on the 16th floor.
Arcadis has been based at Cornerblock, in Cornwall Street, since 2017.
Simon Marks, city executive for Birmingham and the Midlands at Arcadis, said: "The move to 103 Colmore Row represents an exciting new chapter for us in Birmingham, demonstrating our commitment to the city and region.
"We firmly believe we still need offices but it must be a different type of space that reflects the changing nature of the work day and our people.
