Piano building, Kidderminster

Speller Metcalfe has now started work on renovating the GRADE-II listed Piano Building in Kidderminster town centre.

Wyre Forest District Council’s Cabinet agreed to purchase the Piano Building and adjacent bus station in February this year. Following a procurement process, it is now set to be transformed into a modern mixed-use facility including co-working and hybrid working spaces, entertainment space, and restaurants on the ground floor.

The council’s purchase of the Piano historic building, which was built as a wool warehouse by Brintons in 1867, has been funded through the Government £17.9 million Levelling Up Fund grant for Kidderminster.

The site was previously home to Birmingham Metropolitan College’s Kidderminster Academy, which closed in 2019.

The renovation and repurposing of the empty Grade II listed Piano building is planned to be completed by spring 2025.
