Savills & Eddisons, on behalf of Urban&Civic, have recently sold a 12 acre (4.8 hectare) site of development land at Alconbury Weald in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire to AM Fresh UK for an undisclosed sum.
The innovative firm who specialise in developing healthy, natural and fresh foods is set to build a new 306,000 sq ft (28,428 sq m) facility at the Urban&Civic led Alconbury Weald development. Construction of the new facility is currently underway and is due to reach practical completion in December 2022.
Alconbury Weald comprises 393 acres (159 hectares) of employment space, 6,500 new homes, 4 schools and 608 acres (246 hectares) of landscaping. Other occupiers at Alconbury include MM Flowers (an AM Fresh sister company), IKO Solutions and toy retailer, John Adams. With space still available, the scheme is able to provide bespoke builds of up to 500,000 sq ft (46,451 sq m), which can either be pre-let or purchased on a freehold basis.
William Rose, director in the business space team at Savills Peterborough, comments: “This purchase by AM Fresh further cements Alconbury Weald as a strategic commercial location and this latest success will undoubtedly attract further businesses to the local area. As available space with the required planning consents remain limited across the region, Alconbury’s enterprise zone status has been crucial to securing industrial and manufacturing occupiers.”
