About Eastside / Curzon.

Eastside is Birmingham's biggest regeneration bet since the Bullring. HS2's Curzon Street station — the first new intercity terminus built in Britain since the 19th century — is under construction at the heart of the district. Foundation works were completed in 2025, with 2,000 concrete columns installed. Station building internal fit-out starts at the end of 2025 and completes by end of 2028.

The 15-acre Enterprise Zone surrounding the station offers business rate incentives and simplified planning. One Eastside, a 155-metre residential tower, is due for completion in 2025 and forms part of the station entrance. The district is expected to transform Birmingham's connectivity — London in 45–50 minutes by high-speed rail.

Current rents are low because the transformation is not yet complete — that is the opportunity. The BBC's commitment at nearby Typhoo Wharf validates the eastern corridor. Early adopters who establish now will benefit from the connectivity and placemaking investment as HS2 delivers.

Remove the middlemen.

No agent. No fee. No commission.

Traditional office search routes you through a broker who charges 10–15% of year-one rent. On a typical Eastside / Curzon deal worth £78K/year, that's £8K extracted from the deal before you sign a lease.

Seek removes that layer entirely. Your enquiry goes direct to the building's operator. They quote their real number. You negotiate direct.

Direct enquiry to the operator — no broker layer, no inflated quote to cover a commission.
Transparent pricing — operators on Seek compete on their actual rates, not rates padded to recover a finder's fee.

Common questions about Eastside / Curzon offices.

HS2 Curzon Street will be the first new intercity railway terminus built in Britain since the 19th century. Located at the heart of Eastside, it will connect Birmingham to London in approximately 45–50 minutes by high-speed rail. Foundation works were completed in 2025 with 2,000 concrete columns installed.
HS2 will transform Eastside's connectivity and commercial value. The 15-acre Enterprise Zone surrounding the station offers business rate incentives. Current rents are low because the station is still under construction — early adopters will benefit from the placemaking and connectivity investment as HS2 becomes operational.
University College Birmingham took 44,670 square feet at Baskerville House in Q1 2024. Bruntwood SciTech operates modern flex workspace at Mclaren in Eastside. The adjacent Digbeth district — where the BBC signed for 84,000 square feet — is driving interest across the eastern corridor.
Internal fit-out of the Curzon Street station building is expected to start at the end of 2025 and complete by end of 2028. Operational services are projected for 2029–2030, though the programme has experienced delays. Early positioning in Eastside allows businesses to establish before the connectivity upgrade.
