The lease increases the total amount of space taken by the business at the central Birmingham development to over 100,000 sq ft when combined with the 73,000 sq ft it currently occupies at 1 Brindleyplace.
The letting follows a separate deal with flexible office giant WeWork to vacate 97,000 sq ft of space it currently occupies at the site.
Raj Rajput, managing director of asset management UK at Hines, said: “We’re thrilled that the Commonwealth Games has committed to more space at Brindleyplace and to have another internationally recognised organisation based at this exemplar mixed-used scheme demonstrates, yet again, how highly regarded the estate is.
“6 Brindleyplace is an attractive space at the heart of the estate overlooking Central Square and, following our agreement with WeWork, we have been inundated with strong enquiries regarding letting space within the building.”
Savills acted on behalf of Hines and Cushman & Wakefield advised the Commonwealth Games.
Ben Thacker, director for national offices at Savills, said: “Brindleyplace has been the official home of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games team since spring 2019 and to see the organisation continue to expand its offering is testament to the quality of space and amenities at the estate.
“The Commonwealth Games coming to Birmingham is a huge coup for the city, and the excitement is really building as the opening ceremony draws ever closer. The games will have a hugely positive impact for the city and has the opportunity to leave a real legacy here.”
