Rigby & Co Win Costar Award For Major Birmingham Office Deal

DERBY, U.K. - EntSun -- Leading regional property consultants Rigby & Co have won a prestigious award for a major office letting in Birmingham from Costar, a global provider of commercial real estate data and analytics.

The firm has been recognised with the CoStar Award for Top Office Leasing Deal - West Midlands (City Core), Q4 2025, following the acquisition of 30,515 sq. ft on behalf of flex office operators Cubo, at 55 Colmore Row.

The deal represents one of the most significant office transactions in the city centre during the final quarter of 2025, underlining continued demand for high-quality, flexible workspace in prime locations.

Acting on behalf of Cubo, Rigby & Co advised on the acquisition of the space at the Grade II listed 55 Colmore Row, which has since undergone some refurbishment to provide premium office accommodation in the heart of Birmingham's Colmore business district, widely regarded as one of the Midlands' most prestigious office addresses.

Commenting on the award, Russell Rigby, managing director of Rigby & Co, said:

"We are delighted to have been recognised with this CoStar award, which reflects the strength of the market and our continued commitment to delivering commercially astute, strategic advice that supports clients' growth ambitions.

"Securing 55 Colmore Row for Cubo marks one of the most high-profile moves in the UK's flex-space market in Q4 2025 and highlights the continued demand from flexible workspace operators for best-in-class buildings in prime city centre locations.

"The transaction also demonstrates the resilience of Birmingham's office market, with high-quality space continuing to attract ambitious occupiers."

The landlord was represented by Jamie Phillips of Knight Frank LLP and Theo Holmes of CBRE.
