Case Study: Royal London Asset Management achieves a sustainable office repositioning with Oktra

Royal London Asset Management refreshes 130,000 sq ft in 38 weeks with Oktra

Royal London Asset Management faced the challenge of repositioning its aging 45 Church Street property in Birmingham to remain competitive in an evolving market. The building was losing tenants and needed significant upgrades to its infrastructure and amenities to meet modern occupier expectations. Oktra was engaged to devise and execute a low-impact refurbishment strategy for the landlord.

Oktra implemented a phased refurbishment that prioritized the reuse of existing elements like the reception desk, flooring, and furniture to minimize environmental impact and waste. This sustainable approach modernized the building, enhanced its kerb appeal with a new double-height glazed façade, and honored local heritage through its design. The project was completed successfully with minimal disruption to existing tenants. As a result of Oktra's work, the repositioned building is proving highly attractive to the market, with new tenants quickly snapping up available space.
