BAM, the Dutch group behind the city’s Barclaycard Arena and Beorma Quarter redevelopments, will deliver the 16-storey building providing 360,000 sq ft of Grade A office space by early 2018. The project, off Colmore Row, will also include 40,000 sq ft of leisure and retail space.

Developers Ballymore led the two preceding Snowhill schemes — One and Two Snowhill — which have already attracted blue chip tenants such as Barclays, KPMG and HS2. The entire development forms part of Birmingham City Council’s 20 year master plan for redeveloping Snowhill known as “Vision 2030”.

The regeneration blueprint is expected to see the development of 2.2m square feet office space, major changes to local roads and major improvements to Birmingham’s Snow Hill station.

Headquartered in Amsterdam, BAM has appointed Paul Avery, who led the £20m refurbishment of the rebranded Barclaycard Arena, as project manager for the Three Snowhill scheme. Among the businesses working on the contract are architecture firms Sidell Gibson and Weedons, structural engineering practice WSP, project surveyor Gleeds and mechanical engineer Arup.

Describing its latest appointment as a signature project for Birmingham, BAM’s construction director, Dave Ellis, added: “This is a challenging construction scheme, Snowhill has premium quality clients and it demands a premium quality approach from its construction partners. We’re very much looking forward to starting on site and making it happen.”

Ballymore project director, Richard Probert, commented: “Three Snowhill has now been awarded detailed planning consent and we look forward to starting on site shortly.

“It is the final component in what has become a landmark gateway development for our city — changing the skyline and setting new standards for regional office development.”
