Meet our #NodeTech Buildings… Second up in the series is up is Birmingham's tallest skyscraper, 103 Colmore Row. With now only one single floor plate still unoccupied it has been the hottest ticket in town for Birmingham's occupier market since its introduction to the marketplace. •Client - Sterling Property Ventures Ltd & Tristan Capital Partners •Building Management – Knight Frank •Letting Agents – Jamie Phillips Will Higgins MRICS of Knight Frank, Scott Rutherford & David Rigby of Cushman & Wakefield and Molly Cook of Colliers •Awards – Best Commercial Workplace at BCO awards 2023 & best building for ESG in the Midlands at Midlands PROPS Awards 2022 •Certifications – BREEAM Excellent, WiredScore Platinum •Node OM – Mike Baxendale The Asset 103 offers visitors an arrival experience unlike anything else in the city, with a quadruple height winter garden leading into a bright reception area offering a wealth of market leading facilities, breakout areas and of course resilient and robust connectivity throughout all areas. Technology is best when it brings people together, this working theory was at the forefront of thinking with the design of 103 Colmore Rows design with a bespoke building application, full communal WiFi to compliment the Grade A specification throughout. What Makes 103 Different 103 APP: The 103 smartphone app, via Cureoscity, provides users with frictionless door and speed-gate access, as well as a room booking service, useful and up to date information on the building and its environment and much more. DISTRICT ENERGY: Powered by low and zero carbon technologies, the building benefits from the District Energy Scheme, a pivotal part of Birmingham’s green strategy, aiming to cut CO2 emissions by 60% by 2027. DATA MONITORING: Again via the 103 app, all of the buildings occupiers have immediate access to their own energy performance data enabling them to review and improve on energy consumption alongside the building management teams. #NetZero #NodeAssets #NodeBuildings #103Colmore #Birmingham #WiredScore 

The utilisation of street furniture for small cell and aerial fibre deployment has emerged as a transformative strategy to enhance the availability of telecom infrastructure, particularly in urban areas. Street furniture provides a readily available and strategically placed foundation for mounting small cells and laying aerial fibre, making it an ideal solution for expanding telecom connectivity. This approach also supports the development of smart city solutions by integrating telecommunications infrastructure with urban utility services, creating a more connected and efficient urban environment.

Smart buildings promised us everything, but many fell short of delivering lasting value Check out Matthew’s insightful column discussing 3 reasons why these promises went unfulfilled

On a recent trip to London, I noticed something innovative and unexpected: street lights doubling as EV charging stations. This was a new concept to me, and after some digging, I found out that London now has over 8,000 street light charging points, with Berlin close behind with 800. This clever use of infrastructure makes electric mobility far more accessible and shows how cities are finding subtle ways to support EV adoption. Integrating EV charging into our existing urban landscape is an essential part of making electrification feasible at scale. City of London Corporation and Berlin City are excellent examples, but this approach is gaining momentum globally. Other cities are placing chargers in parking metres, bus stops, and even installing curbside wireless charging pads. Retail and office buildings are also getting in on the action, adding charging stations into garages and alongside commercial centres, making it easier for drivers to charge as they go about their day. As EVs become more mainstream, thoughtful urban planning incorporating seamless, easy-to-access charging solutions will be a game-changer. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s a practical step towards building the clean cities of the future. What other clever ways can you think of to integrate EV charging into our cityscapes that are mindful of the urban landscape? 👉 Jesse Morris, MBA-DM 🔔 Follow Jesse Morris, MBA-DM for interesting posts on: #BatteryTech, #Sustainability and #GreenTechnology Image credit (I forgot to take a picture myself): David Remondeulaz
