PROJECT OVERVIEW

Three Arena Central is a 242,000 sq ft, grade A office building, which forms part of the Arena Central Development.

The office building is now home to 3,600 civil servants across a number of government services, including the midlands regional hub for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and is located at the heart of this nine acre mixed use regeneration site.

Having already worked successfully on the neighbouring 1 Centenary Square, Hannan Associates were appointed to provide Building Services Engineering, Site Infrastructure Services & BREEAM Assessment for the project which was the second building on the Arena Central development delivered by ACDL, a joint venture led by Kier Property.

The MEP services installations were designed to meet the occupiers specific requirements, which provide energy efficient installations, an excellent working environment and comfort conditions for the occupants contributing towards a BREEAM Excellent rating for the building.

We played a key role in liaising with the occupier’s technical advisors to obtain their specific technical requirements and ensure successful delivery of the MEP services installations, which were agreed, costed and accommodated within the building design within a very short timescale.

We were very pleased to work alongside Make Architects, Gillespies Landscape Architects, Arcadis and WSP on the design team and main contractor Galliford Try. The project won the ‘Property Deal of the Year’ category at the Insider West Midlands Property Awards 2019.

The Arena Central masterplan will deliver 1.2 million sq ft of mixed-use development, alongside a unique public realm that features over 50 per cent soft landscaping at the heart of Birmingham city centre, designed to meet the city’s ever growing demand of office space and residential accommodation.
