An investment management firm has become the latest business to take up space at Birmingham office block 103 Colmore Row.
EFG Harris Allday is relocating across the city's business district after more than half a century in its current home.
The company, part of EFG Private Bank, has struck a deal for 12,178 sq ft on the fifth floor of the new office building on a ten-year lease.
Harris Allday was founded in 1834 in Birmingham and has been based in the nearby Stock Exchange building, in Great Charles Street, for more than 50 years.
It was acquired by EFG International in 2006 and manages assets for private individuals, families, pension funds and charities.

103 Colmore Row was developed by Tristan Capital Partners and Sterling Property Ventures and replaced the old NatWest Tower at the corner of Newhall Street.
A string of deals with professional services businesses have been signed for space there since it opened last year, including law firms Browne Jacobson and Shoosmiths, property agencies Colliers and Knight Frank and Swedish bank Handelsbanken.
There is also a restaurant on the 24th floor and co-working space and members' club operated by x+why.
James Howarth, managing director of Sterling Property Ventures, said: "Our tenant roster reads like a who's who of Birmingham's top finance and professional advisory firms. It's testament to the pulling power of 103's address and the quality of the building where just two floors remain."
James Brodie, managing director of Tristan Capital Partners, added: "This latest letting takes the building to more than 90 per cent let, with conversations ongoing for the remaining space. The occupational market remains strong."
Property agency CBRE advised EFG Harris Allday on the letting.
