Consultancy Avison Young has been appointed as property manager for the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.

The athletics stadium in Perry Barr, which was the centrepiece of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, is also set to become the first º£½ÇÊÓÆµ stadium to host the European Athletics Championships when it comes to the city next year.

A £72 million investment was made to upgrade the stadium for the Commonwealth Games while surrounding infrastructure such as Perry Barr station also underwent improvement work.

The stadium's transformation includes the creation of commercial spaces in the new West Stand, sporting facilities and tenanted areas in the West and East stands.

Last year, Birmingham City University relocated its sport and exercise science campus to the stadium, using its own funding to fit out the spaces.

The move included repurposing the areas beneath the East and West grandstand seating which has now been established as office and teaching spaces.

The development has created two multi-let commercial buildings that stand on their own estate.
