Unique industrial unit in Southampton

Desirable industrial space on Strategic Park in Hedge End, Southampton, is now available to let.

Unit 1 on Strategic Park in Hedge End, Southampton, is available to let on a new lease to large industrial occupiers. The site is currently undergoing refurbishment following vacation by ACW Technology.

The modern industrial unit, totalling 68,348 sq ft, is marketed by national commercial property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), following appointment by F&C REIT Asset Management. Vail Williams is joint agent alongside LSH.

The space is likely to appeal to occupiers with forthcoming lease events and other relocation requirements from within and outside the Southampton area. The site is well located – off Comines Way in Hedge End, immediately adjacent to junction 7 of the M27.

Unit 1 comprises a high quality detached warehouse and distribution facility with 8.8m eaves height, three level access loading doors, secure yard, 158 car parking spaces, eight lorry spaces and air conditioned offices. These attributes make it ideal for light industrial occupiers and is also likely to appeal to storage and distribution businesses.

Adrian Whitfield, Director in LSH’s South Coast Industrial & Logistics Agency team, says: “There is a shortage of available large, quality industrial units along the M27 corridor, so occupier demand for such space remains high. The refurbishment of Unit 1 will provide one of the best specification buildings of its size, available with immediate occupation on the M27/M3 motorway corridor. As such, we anticipate high levels of interest in this property from warehouse, manufacturing and research & development occupiers looking to upgrade their premises and relocate to or within Southampton.”

Mobile phone provider Ericsson is the tenant in Unit 2 Strategic Park. Ericsson recently completed an extension to the property and now occupies 59,876 sq ft.
