Why Fort Dunlop?

Work somewhere different.

Some workplaces are simply an address. Fort Dunlop is a destination.

One of Birmingham’s most recognisable landmarks, Fort Dunlop combines extraordinary industrial heritage with contemporary workspace, outstanding connectivity and everything you need for the working day — all under one roof.

Whether you’re an ambitious growing business, an established organisation or looking for a new regional headquarters, Fort Dunlop gives you the space, flexibility and environment to make work, work better.

An address people remember - You can’t miss Fort Dunlop.

Towering alongside the M6, the former Dunlop tyre factory has been part of Birmingham’s landscape for generations. Today, its vast industrial architecture has been transformed into one of the city’s most distinctive business destinations.

It’s a workplace with genuine character — and an address that gives your business presence.

Iconic. Individual. Unmistakably Fort Dunlop.

Brilliantly connected

Being accessible matters — for your people, your clients and your business.

Fort Dunlop sits directly alongside the A47 between Junctions 5 and 6 of the M6, providing straightforward connections to the M5, M42, M1 and the wider UK motorway network. Birmingham city centre is within easy reach, while Birmingham’s major rail stations and Birmingham Airport provide connections across the UK and beyond.

There are regular bus services from Birmingham city centre, together with Fort Dunlop’s dedicated weekday peak-time shuttle service.

Wherever the working day takes you, Fort Dunlop puts you in a great place to start.

Parking without the headache

For businesses whose employees and visitors travel by car, Fort Dunlop offers something increasingly difficult to find in Birmingham:

Space to park

With 1,650 on-site parking spaces, 24-hour parking access and electric vehicle charging facilities, arriving at work couldn’t be easier.

No circling city-centre streets. No long walk from a remote car park. Just park, arrive and get on with your day.

Everything you need, right where you work

Fort Dunlop is designed around more than the hours you spend at your desk.

Grab a coffee at Costa, fit in a workout at Anytime Fitness, play a game at PadelHaus, visit the Specialized Concept Store, or simply head outside and take some time away from the screen on the rooftop terrace — home to one of Europe’s largest green roofs.

With shops, places to eat and drink, fitness, leisure and everyday conveniences on site, life at Fort Dunlop is just that little bit easier.

• Work. Meet. Eat. Train. Recharge.

• All without leaving the building.

• Space that works around you.

Businesses change. Your workplace should be able to change with you.

Fort Dunlop offers an extraordinary amount of flexible office accommodation, from spaces for smaller teams through to substantial headquarters requirements.

Generous floorplates give businesses the freedom to create environments that reflect the way their teams actually work — whether that means open collaborative areas, private offices, breakout zones, meeting rooms or something completely individual.

And with 24-hour access, your office works around your business rather than the other way around.

More room to meet

Sometimes you need somewhere different to bring people together.

The Factory at Fort Dunlop provides dedicated meeting and conference space for everything from team meetings and workshops to presentations, training sessions and larger gatherings.

Modern technology, adaptable spaces and the character of Fort Dunlop make it a meeting environment designed to get people talking, thinking and collaborating.

A community, not just a collection of offices

What really makes Fort Dunlop different is the people inside it.

Businesses of different sizes and from different industries share one extraordinary building, creating a diverse working community that extends well beyond individual office doors.

Major organisations, growing SMEs, technology businesses, creatives, consultants and professional services companies all call Fort Dunlop home.

It creates opportunities to meet, collaborate and become part of something bigger.

Because the best workplaces aren't simply about where you work.

They're about who you're surrounded by.

A greener future

Fort Dunlop's history is industrial, but its future is increasingly sustainable.

530 solar panels were installed in February 2025, alongside wider energy-performance improvements and a commitment to achieve an EPC B rating.

The tenant-led Fort Dunlop Sustainability Network also brings businesses within the building together to share ideas, improve environmental performance and support initiatives ranging from recycling and waste reduction to volunteering and biodiversity.

It’s another example of what can happen when a building becomes a community.

Big building. Big possibilities.

Fort Dunlop has never been ordinary.

From its industrial beginnings to its transformation into one of Birmingham’s most recognisable commercial destinations, this is a building defined by scale, ambition and reinvention.

Today, it offers businesses something increasingly rare:

• character without compromise.

• An iconic address.

• Flexible workspace.

• Outstanding connectivity.

• Exceptional parking.

• Great amenities.

A genuine business community.

Why Fort Dunlop?

Because where you work should say something about who you are.
