Top 5 office spaces in Birmingham that are ideal for modern workplaces
Ever feel like you’re wandering in circles, searching for the perfect spot to get things done? Like you’ve tried every coffee shop, library nook, or that one friend’s couch—but ta-da, nothing quite fits.
We think that this is the big con of working from home—the endless quest for a space that actually works (where you won’t drift off to sleep, haha). Then it hit us that maybe the answer isn’t out there but right where business energy meets comfort and flexibility.
So, we dived into exploring some of the best office spaces in Birmingham. These places are designed to bridge that gap between chaos and focus, hustle and home.
Here’s what we found.
How much do office spaces cost in Birmingham?
Office spaces in Birmingham cost from £150 to £600 per desk per month. However, rates vary based on factors such as lease length, flexibility, and the inclusion of services like meeting rooms, high-speed internet, and more.
1. Landmark Flexible Office Space
Address: 3 Brindley Pl, B1 2JB
Contact Details: +44 20 3440 5000
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
Landmark Office Space topped our list primarily because of its unbeatable location. It is just minutes from major transportation links, including New Street Station and the metro.
We also appreciate the variety of workspace options available. Their private offices, coworking areas, and virtual offices are all very nice—not to mention that they also offer day offices. Plus, their versatile meeting rooms accommodate groups from 8 to 18 people.
Even better, their amenities are truly valuable. They provide 24/7 building access. It is perfect for early birds and night owls. They also have bike storage and car parking options, shower amenities, and fully stocked kitchens for convenience.
However, the prices can lean somewhat towards the higher side for smaller startups. This is especially true since on-site security is included to ensure a comfortable and secure environment.
Exceptional services and welcoming staff
“A fantastic modern and clean work space. Ideally located close to both the business sector and the ICC. The staff are both attentive helpful and highly professional in their delivery. Reception is both welcoming with knowledgeable, most friendly and approachable staff in Jo and Helen who provide an excellent front of house point of contact that is second to none and are a credit to Landmark.”

Renovated offices with great value
“Wonderful offices that have not long had a stunning renovation in the communal areas. The meeting rooms are excellent value and the office space is comfortable. The biggest asset they have to offer however is the people, the Landmark team are outstanding.”

2. Runway East
Address: Arca, Temple Row, B2 5AF
Contact Details: +44 20 3137 9953
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
What we like most about Runway East is how customisable their offices are. You can add branded walls, custom furniture, and even unique layouts to reflect your team’s identity. It’s more like designing your own little headquarters.
Even better, they offer flexible membership options that cater to everyone from solo workers to growing teams. It is an effortless option to scale up or down, as their private offices are for teams of 6 to 30 or enterprise suites for 30 to 100 members.
It is also located just 2 minutes away from Snow Hill Station. It really provides excellent connectivity for teams and clients. Plus, the building has a rooftop terrace with stunning city views, adding a cool vibe for casual catch-ups or just a breather.
And we really love the free speciality coffee, weekly treats like Cake Wednesdays, and an on-site support team to make working feel a little less like work. Besides, it is also pet-friendly.
However, they don’t provide on-site parking or dedicated storage facilities. For teams that drive in daily or require extra space for equipment, this could mean added planning and costs to ensure things work smoothly.
A brilliant space perfect for meetings
“Brilliant office space! Ben & Adam were kind enough to invite us to use the office space for a day! Such a brilliant space, bright, fresh & clean with an incredible finish. Great connectivity facilities too. Would recommend for any meeting room or office space needs.”
– Henry Nicholls, Google Review
Outstanding staff creating a welcoming atmosphere
“The staff at Runway East Birmingham go above and beyond in creating a welcoming and professional environment. Whether it’s ensuring everything runs smoothly or simply brightening the day with their positive energy, Ben and Rahima truly make a difference.”

3. Cubo Work
Address: 2 Chamberlain Sq, B3 3AX
Contact Details: +44 800 038 9797
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: Open 24 hours
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
If we had to sum up Cubo Work in two words, it would be ‘flexible’ and ‘functional’. It is situated in an area with excellent connectivity via tram, bus, and ample parking facilities.
We love how they offer diverse and flexible workspace options. For instance, their fully furnished private offices, which include desks, chairs, and lockable pedestals, are available for teams of up to 95.
They even offer designated desks for freelancers and remote workers seeking a permanent workspace. In addition, hot desks with flexible seating arrangements are available for individuals or teams requiring occasional access.
Additionally, they truly stand out due to their vibrant community. They host regular networking events and breakfast meetups. Social gatherings are also part of the culture, where individuals can expand their professional connections.
But sadly, while this lively environment is great for networking, community events are built into the culture—even for private office tenants. Therefore, for businesses seeking complete privacy and quiet, the social element may feel more like a distraction.
Friendly team making work enjoyable
“The team at Cubo are brilliant! I’m always greeted with a friendly smile when I walk in to work every morning. It’s these little things that make a difference in day to day working life. Kyle, Chloe & Abby, thank you for making Cubo an enjoyable space to work in 🥰”

Top-tier facilities and superhero staff
“The staff here are absolute legends, and the building? Top-tier—like something out of a magazine, complete with facilities so good you’ll start inventing reasons to use them. Chloe, Kyle, Abby, and Shannon are basically superheroes in disguise—they’re always on hand to save the day and answer any questions, no matter how ridiculous. Honestly, if this place had a fan club, I’d be president.”

4. 10X by Spacemade
Address: 10 Brindley Pl, B1 2JB
Contact Details: +44 121 724 0186
Operating Hours: Monday-Sunday: Open 24 hours
With 10X by Spacemade being located just a short walk from Grand Central Station, it is a game-changer. We love how it makes getting around town and meeting clients really easily, which is a great advantage for busy teams.
They offer the same workspace options as other companies mentioned above, such as private offices, hot desks, and dedicated desks. Yet, they hold the largest available office space, which can accommodate up to 333 members.
We appreciate how their dedicated desks for freelancers and remote workers can be permanent. Starting at around £230 per month, it is an affordable and ideal option for those seeking a consistent workspace without the hassle of long-term commitments.
Moreover, coffee lovers don’t need to leave to grab a cup of coffee because they have their own onsite cafe—Odissi Coffee Cafe—offering speciality coffee and refreshments.
Additionally, they boast a truly fantastic 2,000 sq ft event space, complete with mobile bleachers. However, due to the space’s size and popularity, bookings tend to fill up quickly.
First-rate space with an amazing team
“The quality of the office space, collaboration space and team at 10x by Spacemade are all first rate. It offers a modern warm, friendly and professional working environment with great facilities and regular events that all the team love. You could not ask for a better team than Becky, Cat and Fatima who look after us all brilliantly and always with a smile!”
– Juliet Collings, Google Review
Bright offices and a lovely environment
“10X by Spacemade is a lovely environment to work in. Not only is our private office space bright and airy but the break out spaces and communal areas are well maintained and comfortable and offer a great change of scenery throughout the day. Most importantly the Spacemade team are like an extension of our own – always friendly and eager to help. Thank you!”

5. Alpha Works
Address: Floor 22, Alpha Tower, Suffolk Street Queensway, B1 1TT
Contact Details: +44 121 516 4270
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
Alpha Works is also a state-of-the-art office space. The company offers private workspace options, including dedicated desks, hot desks, and private offices.
Their private offices are already furnished with desks, chairs, and lockable pedestals, too. You can even customise it based on your or your team’s liking. Capacity is limited, though, as the largest spaces only accommodate up to 30 people.
Still, the amenities are excellent. They have meeting rooms equipped with conferencing facilities, which are available through a credit system.
Beyond desks, they also offer flexible and designated breakout spaces. Plus, event spaces that are ideal for workshops and networking which create a true community vibe.
It’s a hub where work and wellness intersect. Their on-site gym and fitness studio truly impressed us. They offer complimentary classes available to members, helping teams stay active without leaving the building.
Professional yet relaxed with great perks
“Alpha Works is the best possible combination of a professional yet friendly and relaxed setting. The spaces are beautiful, with amazing views of the city and a good stock of fruit, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Erin and Amika who manage the space are super nice and helpful and put on a few events per month including some free massage session with a massage chair professional. I would recommend it to anyone.”
– Anne Meriaux, Google Review
Best value for private offices
“The best office space in Birmingham. The private offices are a great bet for the price they cost. And I can see people also enjoying the co-working space so, I think this brings great value for any start-up or small/mid sized company.”
– Phil Brito, Google Review
