Chamber keeps beady eye on Daniels Wharf…
President of Dudley Board takes a closer look..
The Black Country Chamber of Commerce is keeping tabs on an exciting new development in Brierley Hill. Mrs Sylvia Wellings, President of the Dudley Board and Director George Munro joined Shawn Riley, Enterprise and Development Manager for the Brierley Hill Regeneration Partnership at the new development’s site recently, to take a closer look.
The Daniels Wharf office development in Brierley Hill is hoped to be the ‘kick start’ to a massive regeneration project that will see new homes, new work space, new transport infrastructure and new jobs for this important area of the Black Country.
The new development will provide a total of 112,444 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation over two buildings – one providing 60,444 sq ft (split between five floors of office space and a 2,600 sq ft restaurant) and the second 52,000 sq ft.
The first building, No1 Daniels Wharf – which offers more than 130 car parking spaces on-site along with a further 100 spaces just two minutes walk away - will sit right alongside the Dudley canal and has the advantage of being part of one of the most successful office and retail developments in the UK. Adjacent to the offices will be a residential scheme of around 180 apartments.
“It’s a very exciting development,” said Mrs Wellings. “Being able to stand on the site and look back across the area, it’s impressive to see housing, retail, offices and leisure facilities in close proximity. The new development will be the catalyst for massive regeneration, the upgrade to the area's infrastructure and see the gradual movement of the ‘hub’ of this key area of the Black Country as the whole area responds to the investment here. These are very exciting times, whether you live in the Brierley Hill area or work here.”
