Over 40% of the UK’s conference and exhibition business takes place in Birmingham. Looking ahead, Birmingham City Council has launched The Big City Plan, “the most ambitious, far-reaching development project in the UK.” The Big City Plan City Centre Masterplan is a non-statutory planning and regeneration framework to create a world class city by planning for the next 20 years of transformation. The vision is to extend the central core by 25%, improve connectivity, strengthen its authentic character and diversify its economic base. Over £1 billion has already been spent or committed on major projects including redevelopment of New Street Station and The Pallasades shopping centre, construction of the Library of Birmingham; one of the largest in Europe and the Midland Metro Line 1 Extension from Snow Hill Station to New Street Station, with further plans to extend to Five Ways. “ Birmingham is ranked one of the top 20 international destinations to visit ” —New york times BIRMINGHAM FIVE WAYS 5 CATCHMENT & DEMOGRAPHICS Birmingham ranks 2nd in terms of estimated shopping population at 750,000 people and 1st in terms of total city centre retail floorspace with approximately 3.28 million square feet (PROMIS).

Explore the potential to agree a surrender with Shimla Pinks to subdivide unit 6 to create 2/3 units with two fronting Bishopsgate Street, opposite the cinema entrance and Nando’s. Grosvenor casinos have looked at taking the basement of Unit 9 on a number of occasions in the past. At some point consider the potential of combining the units giving Grosvenor a larger ground floor presence. The redevelopment of Auchinleck House will potentially increase the demand for parking spaces at Five Ways as well as increase the pedestrian flow past the scheme. In the medium term this could lead to the potential to attract more of the major restaurant groups. Gatecrasher have expressed an interest in a ground floor feeder bar. Consideration could be given to part of the Shimla Pinks unit with the entrance on Bishopsgate Street. Five Ways lacks a website and co-ordinated marketing to the many office workers and hotels in the immediate vicinity. There is the potential to benefit from a co-ordinated approach. BIRMINGHAM FIVE WAYS AUCHINLECK HOUSE & FIVE WAYS SHOPPING CENTRE REDEVELOPMENT This 1960s office tower and shopping centre, which is situated adjacent to Five Ways, has over the last 10 years become largely vacant and run down. It was acquired in 2011 by Ace Sino Group Ltd, a Singapore based conglomerate and is to be redeveloped to provide a 300 bed, 4 star hotel with banqueting and conference halls for up to 2,000 delegates, rooftop restaurant, retail and spa with car parking. The hotel, which is due for completion towards the end of 2014, will be branded Park Regis. This development will provide a much needed addition to the south western end of Broad Street and the increased pedestrian flow will be also be a significant benefit to Five Ways. Plans showing the proposed scheme can be found on: www.birmingham.gov.uk/planning Application: 2011/08518/PA 21 22 BIRMINGHAM FIVE WAYS DATAROOM Access to the dataroom is available upon request.

VAT The property has been elected for VAT and it is therefore envisaged that the transaction will be treated as a Transfer of a Going Concern.
