One Centenary Way – A Shining Light in Paradise!
We were delighted to be recently appointed as the approved Cleaning Contractor for the stunning new 13 storey office facility One Centenary Way (OCW), one of Birmingham’s newest and most sustainable commercial facilities located in Paradise Birmingham which is now recognised as the jewel in the crown for the Regions Office, Commercial and Leisure landscape!
Commercial office space has always been at the very core of our daily operations and this aspect of the business has gone from strength to strength in recent years with our brand becoming synonymous with daily Commercial Office Cleaning across Birmingham and the wider Midlands region.
Structural Design and Market Leading Features – One Centenary Way
The building, designed by Howells Architects and constructed by main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine, offers 280,000 sq ft of space across thirteen floors and is one of the largest commercial buildings in the city.
The facility itself is an architectural ‘masterpiece’ as designers have had to address a number of below ground constraints – primarily being the A38 Queensway Tunnel that runs directly underneath the building all made possible by the incorporation of a ‘Vierendeel Exoskeleton’ construction design where the building façade provides the essential stability.
Sustainability is very much at the core of the OCW offering with basement floors providing scope for the city’s first public cycle hub that is big enough to house more than 300 bikes whilst the large underground car park will boast 20 EV charging points all designed to encourage a more environmentally friendly commute into the city!
We Clean Mobilisation and Contract Start
As the approved cleaning contractor of Managing Agents Avison Young for the delivery of the OCW internal common areas and cleaning across the Paradise estate, we were incredibly proud to be comprehensively involved in getting this new state of the art facility ‘presentation ready’ for its recent launch event in October which was a resounding success!
Heading up the mobilisation team is our long standing Contract Manager Debbie Rhodes who will be aligning the daily cleaning regime on site to accommodate the staggered opening of the building to a number of high profile Tenants including Arup, JLL and Goldman Sachs who have already committed to taking significant office space within this prestigious development.
As we head into our 5th year of operational activity across the Paradise Estate the opportunity to reinforce our brand within this new stunning office development in the city of Birmingham is one in which we are immensely proud, Director Paul Concannon commenting:
“As an organisation we pride ourselves on being all about Birmingham, looking after a number of iconic buildings and venues throughout our great City, hence we were genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to provide Daily Cleaning Services to One Centenary Way (OCW), the most advanced commercial office setting in the City, complementing our growing portfolio of marquee buildings.“
This newest addition to Birmingham’s commercial market is certainly a ‘Jewel in the Crown’ and we are relishing the opportunity to continue reinforcing our position as the ‘go to’ Cleaning Contractor for organisation’s seeking a company that genuinely wants to deliver ‘sustainable cleaning’ for their commercial property as within One Centenary Way!
