Colmore Row is a street in Birmingham City Centre in the centre of Birmingham, England, running from Victoria Square to just beyond Snow Hill station. It is traditionally the city's most prestigious business address.[2]

Colmore Row and its environs were designated a conservation area in 1971, which was extended twice in 1985. Colmore Row itself has 23 listed buildings, two listed at Grade I and two at Grade II*.[3]

Birmingham has seen a number of significant changes in the last few years. Primarily, the structure of the Birmingham office market has seen an expansion and redefinition of its traditional prime office core. What was once centred round Colmore Row, Edmund Street and Newhall Street, over the last seven years the market has seen 850,000 sq ft (79,000 m2) of newly developed space at Brindleyplace and further space at The Mailbox. Additional schemes are also in the pipeline outside the traditional core, including Eastside and Paradise Circus.
