Shepherd Commercial is pleased to announce that we have been appointed to bring the freehold of the iconic Goldfinger House, located on Cranmore Boulevard in Solihull, to the open market.

Available at a guide price of £1,450,000, this distinctive property offers investors and occupiers a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark office building in one of the West Midlands’ most sought-after commercial locations.

Grade II Listed

This Grade II listed property, notable for its striking architectural design and commanding presence, offers approximately 6,880 sq ft of high-quality, self-contained office accommodation set within its own secure site. With excellent access, 92 car parking spaces, and a modern specification throughout, Goldfinger House combines historical significance with practical functionality.

A Legacy of Design

Goldfinger House is a celebrated example of post-war modernist architecture, originally designed in 1955 by the renowned architect Ernö Goldfinger, a leading figure of the modern movement in Britain. The building was commissioned by Carr & Co and is widely regarded as one of the region’s most important remaining examples of mid-century commercial architecture.

Its design exhibits the principles of the modernist ethos — clean lines, functional form, and a harmonious blend of concrete, glass and steel. In more recent years, the building has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment programme, which has preserved its heritage character while upgrading the internal environment to suit contemporary office requirements.

A Rare Freehold Offering in Solihull

Freehold office properties in Solihull of this scale, prominence and character are exceptionally rare. Goldfinger House offers a unique opportunity to secure a self-contained headquarters-style building in a highly accessible business district just minutes from both the M42 and Solihull town centre.

The site is accessed via a private drive directly off Cranmore Boulevard, which connects with the A34 Stratford Road, offering quick access to the national motorway network. Junction 4 of the M42 is just two miles away, and Birmingham International Airport and the NEC are both within a 15-minute drive. Solihull town centre and the Touchwood Shopping Centre lie only 2.5 miles to the north.

Specification and Accommodation

Goldfinger House extends to 6,880 sq ft (639.1 sq m) net internal floor area and is arranged across three principal floors with a central glass-fronted reception area at ground leve

Internally, the accommodation has been comprehensively refurbished and includes:

• Comfort cooling throughout

• LG7 compliant lighting with motion sensors

• Double-glazed windows on all elevations providing exceptional levels of natural daylight

• Perimeter trunking for flexible data and power distribution

• Male and female WC facilities on each floor

• Lift access serving all levels

• Dedicated meeting rooms and kitchen facilities

• Second floor storage area

• Secure gated access with 92 marked parking spaces, providing an outstanding parking ratio of 1:75 sq ft

The building is designed to accommodate flexible occupational needs, with suites available from approximately 1,500 sq ft, making it equally suitable for a single occupier or multiple tenants.

A Headquarters Opportunity or Investment Play

Goldfinger House is ideally suited as a headquarters office building for an established regional business seeking a self-contained presence in the heart of Solihull’s Monkspath commercial district. Equally, the property lends itself to owner-occupation, offering the opportunity to control occupational costs while benefiting from capital growth in a supply-constrained market.

For investors, the property presents an appealing prospect to let on a multi-tenant basis. The availability of separate suites and floors, combined with ample on-site parking and strong local office demand, positions Goldfinger House as a potentially high-yielding, income-producing asset.

Strategic Commercial Location

The property occupies a prominent position within the Cranmore/Monkspath Business Park, one of Solihull’s most established commercial hubs. The location is home to numerous professional services, technology and medical firms, with a proven track record of occupier retention and growth.

Nearby amenities include David Lloyd Leisure Centre, retail offerings along the Stratford Road corridor, and multiple public transport options. The area has continued to benefit from ongoing infrastructure investment, with strong transport links and proximity to Birmingham Business Park and the wider West Midlands commercial network.

Sustainability and Comfort

The building’s design and upgrades have focused on providing a comfortable, energy-efficient working environment. Modern energy-saving lighting, double glazing, and natural ventilation contribute to reduced running costs and a lower carbon footprint — key priorities for modern occupiers.

Tenure and Availability

The property is available freehold, with vacant possession upon completion. Alternatively, Shepherd Commercial welcomes discussions with interested parties regarding potential leasehold arrangements or investment purchases subject to letting.
