 In 2016 One Martineau Place, the 13-storey office building above the development (which had not been part of the 2001 modernisation of the centre, and was by then vacant, having previously been occupied by insurer Aviva) underwent a £35 million refurbishment, and was converted to a 168-room apartment hotel under the Staybridge Suites brand.In July 2015, Poundland agreed a ten-year lease on a 30,000 square foot unit on Corporation Street (following a temporary presence in a smaller unit in te centre).Burger King also agreed a 20-year lease on an 8,000 square foot unit that would become its flagship store in Birmingham city centre (relocating from a smaller and less prominent unit inside the centre on Martineau Way).
