The latest and final stage of the development taking place at M&G Real Estate’s Buckingway Business Park has got underway. This development is thought to be Cambridge’s largest speculative warehousing scheme to be built in the past decade. With this phase of the project now started, it is thought that the Business Park will Be ready for completion by February 2018.

The development is owned by M&G Real Estate and is a 155,000 sq. ft. development project to create four high-specification units measuring between 25,000 sq. ft. and 50,000 sq. ft. each. The site is being developed by Goya Developments and Barwood Capital.

Each of the units will also be fitted with Goya’s leading brand of HQ style offices as well as entrance lobbies. The Buckingway Business Park will also be looking to promote green commuting and will therefor have six bike shelters and electric car charging points. Each of the building will also have dedicated yard space as well as extensive parking to meet the tenant’s requirements. The occupiers of the new units, when completed, will also be able to make the most of 8 or 10 metre eaves height as well as 40-50 kN.m2 warehousing floor loading. In further attempts to be environmentally friendly, the business park will be fitted with Photovoltaic panels and solar walls that will be used to generate heat and energy. The buildings will be fitted with motion sensitive lighting and energy monitors in an attempt to help the occupiers to reduce their energy costs.

Buckingway Business Park is being constructed in a strategic location adjacent to the A14 and allowing the tenants easy access on to transport routes to Cambridge, the M11 and the A1. The Business Park will benefit from the £1.5 billion upgrade works planned for the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon which is expected to be completed by 2020.
