In a significant move for the UK's flexible office sector, Cubo has officially taken control of the prestigious 55 Colmore Row in Birmingham from WeWork. The announcement, made on 28th November 2025, represents one of the most notable transactions in the flex-space market this year.
A Prime Location for Business
Cubo has secured a long lease for the iconic building, which offers more than 30,000 sq. ft of Grade A workspace in the heart of Birmingham's Colmore Business District. Widely regarded as one of the country's most desirable flexible workspace locations, 55 Colmore Row is celebrated for its premium specification, hospitality-led amenities, and prime city-centre position.
The acquisition is a strategic play that reinforces Cubo's ambition to transform premium workspaces across the UK's strongest commercial cities. It substantially bolsters the company's regional footprint as it accelerates its national rollout plan.
A New Flagship and Future Vision
55 Colmore Row will now serve as a flagship location within Cubo's 14-strong portfolio. The site will embody the company's signature blend of design-led workspace, high-end service, and a vibrant member community, all within one of the UK's most sought-after office buildings.
Marc Brough, CEO and Founder of Cubo, commented on the takeover, stating: "55 Colmore Row is one of the UK's most iconic flexible workspace addresses - a building that companies genuinely aspire to work from. Taking this site into the Cubo portfolio is a major statement of intent."
He added, "We're expanding, we're investing, and we're committed to delivering exceptional workspace experiences in the country's leading business cities. Birmingham is a key part of that strategy."
Premium Amenities and Seamless Transition
The building will cater to a diverse range of businesses, offering premium private offices for teams of all sizes. It will feature Cubo's well-known amenities, including:
- A destination coworking lounge with barista-led coffee and breakout areas.
- Enterprise-grade meeting suites and event space.
- A programme of social, networking, and wellness events.
- Fully flexible and all-inclusive membership options.
Existing members are promised a smooth and transparent handover, with immediate access to Cubo's growing national network. The building's central location, just moments from Snow Hill and New Street stations, makes it a magnet for professional services, tech, digital, and creative businesses. Cubo's arrival is expected to further cement Birmingham's status as one of the UK's most dynamic regional office markets.
This expansion comes on the back of strong financial performance for Cubo. The company recently announced that its contracted annual revenue has surpassed £30 million. It has also reported record enterprise sign-ups and occupancy levels, consistently outperforming market trends. Furthermore, Cubo's commitment to sustainable business practices has been recognised with its recent achievement of Certified B Corp status.
