Rhubarb - Creative Spaces

Arranged over 5 floors, rhubarb is a brand new office building, imaginatively designed to create 16 self-contained studio offices. Each Studio has energy efficient air-conditioning, its own bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. Sizes range from 360 sq.ft. to 1,076 sq.ft. and will typically accommodate between 4 and 20 people with room to spare for a meeting table.

All of our studios are available to buy as well as rent starting at just £79,000.

You already know about the environmental and health benefits of green travel, but to give you a nudge in the right direction, every studio office bought will come with a fold-up bicycle - great for the train or for travelling between meetings.

Just a selection of some of our available spaces. Download the pdf for full unit list, specifications and price list!

We’re thinking about Qwerk... a new Coworking scheme directed at the creative industries. Interested? Email us and let us know qwerk@taste-rhubarb.com

Situated within the Digbeth and Deritend conservation area, rhubarb is located next to the historic Old Crown Pub and right opposite the Custard Factory on Heath Mill Lane.

The Custard Factory is a well known landmark in the City accommodating several hundred businesses and creative enterprises.

We’re a stone's throw away from Selfridges and the Bullring with easy access to both New Street and Moor Street railway stations. A “pay and display” public car park is located close by.
