The deal is the first to be announced since Barclays' completion of its move to Snow Hill following the announcement last year that Barclays had acquired over 98,000 sq ft of new office space from Ballymore, the international property development company, the then owners. The move has brought together 1,000 sales and operations colleagues from Barclays Corporate Midlands division, previously located across the Greater Birmingham area. A 15-year lease has been agreed on the office space, which forms part of the one million sq ft mixed-use scheme.
