Bond Wolfe secures £2.5 million sale of Black Country office block with consent for 128 co-living studios

Bond Wolfe has successfully completed the £2.5 million sale of Kingston House in West Bromwich, a substantial former office building with full planning permission for conversion into 128 co-living studios.

Located at 438-450 High Street, Kingston House has been acquired by TheStudios, the property investment company renowned for delivering a high-quality co-living scheme of nearly 200 apartments in the 12-storey former Carillion headquarters at Birch Street, Wolverhampton.

James Mattin, Managing Director at Bond Wolfe, said:

“We are delighted to have concluded yet another major high street sale in West Bromwich.

Kingston House represents a significant redevelopment opportunity and will be transformed from its former role as a multi-let NHS office building into 128 co-living studios.

TheStudios have a proven track record in delivering vibrant, community-focused residential spaces, and we look forward to seeing Kingston House revitalised in a similar way.

This deal follows our recent sale of 178 Birmingham Road on behalf of Green Square Accord Housing Association, further evidence of positive change across the town’s property landscape.”

Kingston House is a six-storey, detached, freehold property extending to 42,714 sq ft and benefiting from 106 onsite parking spaces.

The property offers excellent connectivity, with Birmingham city centre accessible via the Metro tram, West Bromwich Bus Station close by, and Junction 1 of the M5 less than two miles away.

Nearby amenities include the New Square shopping centre, with its five-screen Odeon Cinema, Tesco Extra superstore, popular retail brands, cafés and restaurants. Dartmouth Park and Sandwell Valley Country Park are also within easy reach.
