SOLIHULL based IM Properties is reimagining the future of a landmark office building in Coventry city centre with the £9 million refurbishment of Sherbourne House.
The landmark six storey, 90,330 sq ft building will be relaunched as ‘Bourn’ after an extensive rethink around its form and functionality as a workspace and destination.
Aiming for completion in Summer 2022, it will be equally suited to both leading global operations looking for new headquarters and aspiring local businesses.
The new premium Grade A, high specification offices will offer a best-in-class customer experience, with sustainability underpinning the vision for its design, delivery and operation.
Rob Hemus, asset director for IM Properties said: “As well as being Net Zero Ready and targeting a BREEAM Very Good rating, its core values will encourage and support behaviours which are good for its people, the place and the planet.
“We’re installing 10 EV charging points to enable people to feel more confident about using electric cars for their commute, with provision for an additional 24.
“An occupier engagement strategy will be in place to connect Bourn to its surrounding rich cultural architecture and will also look to provide social value benefits to the wider community.”
Being just a short two-minute walk from Coventry train station, Bourn provides a perfect platform to also recognise new green choices for travelling to work.
With wellbeing, smart technology and a sense of community and inclusion at its heart.
He added: “We’re creating a 48-space cycle hub in the basement of the building, with dedicated lockers, showers and changing facilities, so people can run, walk or cycle to work.
“We’re really excited to bring Bourn to the Coventry office market and are confident it will be seen as a major asset in the city.”
