Federated Hermes launched Landmark Baskerville House on the market with a price of £ 48.2 million.
Acre Capital Real Estate is tasked with selling the Birmingham building included in the list of II class, which Hermes acquired in a deal of £ 40 million twelve years ago.
About 16% of the 196,000 -foot building is currently free, with the rest being clicked by tenants such as Birmingham University College, Network Railway and Kaplan financially.
Located on the centenary square, Baskerville House has undergone a major overhaul in recent years and has taken advantage of the transformation of the width business area.
HSBC has moved its plant across the road to Arena Central, while supported by Hermes Paradise Development has become home to PWC, DLA Piper and Neisure Brands such as Alberts Schloss, Dishoom and the latest detection of Big Mamma Group
Initially, the site was the home of John Baskerville, the eighteenth-century printer whose innovations were best remembered in fonts that bear his name.
Baskerville House was completed in the 1940s and was home to departments of the Birmingham Municipal Council for more than 50 years before it remained free in 1998. It was named in 2001 before a major reconstruction program to lead to the addition of two floors.
