Clearbell launches Blenheim Court office cluster in Solihull following refurbishment of Radcliffe House.

Clearbell has completed the refurbishment of Radcliffe House, one of two buildings that make up Blenheim Court, a 146,000 sq ft office scheme in the heart of Solihull. The site has now launched for sale with an asking price of £19 million and is expected to attract interest from a range of investors. Blenheim Court’s diverse tenant mix, including Legal & General, Oracle, Shakespeare Martineau and Flutter, underscores its appeal as a versatile business hub, with excellent transport connectivity and a prime location within the M42 corridor.

Clearbell Property Partners II LP (Clearbell), a fund managed by private equity real estate fund management and advisory business Clearbell Capital LLP, has today announced the practical completion of the refurbishment of Radcliffe House, one of two buildings within the Blenheim Court office scheme in Solihull town centre. Following the refurbishment, Blenheim Court has been launched for sale and is expected to attract interest from investors and developers alike.

Located strategically at the heart of Solihull, a thriving economic hub within the M42 corridor, Blenheim Court offers approximately 146,000 sq ft of office space. It comprises two principal office buildings – Radcliffe and Chadwick – arranged around a shared car park, communal landscaped gardens, and a separate Grade II listed nursery fronting Warwick Road.

Radcliffe House, offering 60,675 sq ft, has been refurbished to a Grade A specification, including new VRF heating and cooling systems, LED lighting, raised access floors and a feature reception. Chadwick House, comprising 83,483 sq ft, presents a unique opportunity for investors looking to add value, with potential for further refurbishment or residential conversion. Both buildings feature flexible, open-plan floorplates, with Chadwick’s larger layouts particularly suited to accommodate bigger tenants.

Clearbell has appointed Savills to manage the sale, with an asking price of £19 million for the freehold, reflecting a capital value of £130 per sq ft. The firm anticipates early interest due to the combination of stable rental income and the flexibility for future enhancements, including possible residential conversion.

Longstanding tenants at Blenheim Court include Legal & General, specialising in lifetime mortgage services; Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government; and Cadent Gas, the UK’s largest gas distribution network. Recent additions, such as Oracle, recognised for its enterprise software solutions, and Flutter, a global company in sports betting and gaming, underscore Blenheim Court’s growing appeal to both established institutions and innovative firms. Other new occupiers signed up at Blenheim Court post refurbishment include Exotech and Air IT. This tenant mix reinforces Blenheim Court’s position as a versatile and attractive business hub for a range of sectors.

Situated within Solihull’s affluent town centre, Blenheim Court benefits from excellent transport connectivity, including proximity to Solihull railway station, Birmingham International Airport, and the upcoming HS2 rail link, which will position Solihull as one of the UK’s best-connected towns.

The refurbishment of Radcliffe, Blenheim Court marks a significant milestone for this highly sought-after office scheme in the heart of Solihull. With significant works now complete and the scheme available to buy, we’re confident that the market will respond positively. Located within the M42 corridor, a prime office market known for strong demand and resilient rental growth, the site’s fully refurbished space and flexible layout options offer immediate appeal for a range of investors.”
