Diamond is a brand new design & build opportunity for industrial, warehouse and R&D units at Birmingham Business Park, Solihull.
Birmingham Business Park is the most established out-of-town business park in the West Midlands, comprising 148 acres of mature parkland with over 10,000 employees and 150 thriving businesses, including Rolls Royce, Fujitsu, Changan Automotive, IMI, Goodyear and Ryder Trucks.
Birmingham Business Park offers excellent access to both M6 Junction 4 and M42 Junction 6, which are approximately 1.5 and 3.5 miles away, respectively.
