Flurry of activity on Woodlands Court Business Park, Bridgwater

Property consultants Alder King, acting on behalf of Harris & Harris, have let a high quality office suite at Woodlands Court Business Park, Bridgwater to Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust, represented by Capita, has taken a new five year lease on 4,532 sq ft of accommodation within the recently completed Harris & Harris Construction building at the entrance to the business park. The multi-occupational property is now fully let.

The high profile mixed use Business Park, located to the south of Bridgwater on the A38, is also attracting interest from other occupiers. Alder King is in discussion with an occupier for a sizeable pre-let on the scheme and planning consent has recently been granted for a light industrial scheme comprises of 14 units from 741 to 1,694 sq ft. One of these units is already in solicitors’ hands.

Andrew Maynard, partner at Alder King’s Taunton office, said: “There are definite signs of improvement in market sentiment across the region with a number of design and build schemes now underway and, in larger cities, the return of speculative development. The recent activity on Woodlands Court is a good example of this growing confidence.”

Woodlands Court has over 15 plots available for design and build, ranging from 0.25 to 2.75 acres.
