DETROIT – December 2, 2019 – CBRE has been hired by The Surnow Company as the exclusive listing agent for The Jeffery, a 24,000-square-foot office property at 191 N. Chester Street in Birmingham, Mich.
Brendan George and Jasper Hanifi will handle the listing for CBRE.
The Jeffery is an adaptive reuse project, transforming a 1926 church into a modern, Class A office building that can cater to one user or multiple tenants. The completed project will deliver in late Q4 and will preserve much of the historic building’s exterior brick and limestone, but will include a complete interior gut renovation as well as multiple additions with such design elements as floor-to-ceiling windows that will bring in abundant natural light and outdoor terrace space.
The common areas of the finished product will also include a completely furnished executive-style kitchen with a café and lounge, small and large conference rooms, outdoor patio space and on-site, enclosed executive parking.
“This is a one-of-a-kind project that will offer much-needed office space to the popular Birmingham market in a completely unique and efficient setting,” said CBRE’s George.
Birmingham is one of Detroit’s premier suburbs, offering a live-work-play lifestyle. The Jeffery is within walking distance of multiple parks, restaurants, retail and entertainment destinations.
“There are few opportunities like this in the Detroit market that will offer new, Class A office space in the heart of a thriving downtown setting,” said CBRE’s Hanifi. “This project will test rents for the entire market and will likely achieve as much as $50 a square foot.”
