A double letting at Woodlands Court in Almondsbury has been completed by the Bristol office of property adviser Bilfinger GVA.
The new occupiers at the established courtyard office scheme are the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), and Climate Energy. The CNM has taken 3,566 sq ft of space, and Climate Energy has taken 2,796 sq ft.
Set in an attractive landscaped courtyard environment, Woodlands Court is home to 38,000 sq ft of office space across ten buildings.
Alex Riddell, Senior Surveyor at Bilfinger GVA comments: “Both organisations are relocating to benefit from more space, thanks to recent business growth. Situated adjacent to J16 of the M5, Woodlands Court is a highly convenient business location.”
The College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) is the UK’s leading training provider in a range of natural therapies, with colleges across the UK, South Africa and the US. The courses are becoming so popular that larger premises are required at a number of its locations.
In Bristol, where CNM students can train to become a nutritional therapist or an acupuncturist, there were particular requirements to be met. Nicole Keppler, CNM’s managing director, explains: “Students attending CNM Bristol come from as far afield as Reading, the West Country and West Wales, so we were looking for a location which would provide easy access from the motorway network.
“Most of our students are busy people who choose to study part-time with CNM, many also have jobs and families. Their time is valuable, so it’s important for us to facilitate a straightforward journey, plenty of parking, and a pleasant, bright environment in which they can feel calm and focus on their studies. The venue also has to be accessible to members of the public who want to attend a CNM Student Clinic, where advanced student practitioners hone their skills, or who want to attend one of our open days or public seminars on natural health topics.”
The owner of Woodlands Court is currently refurbishing two remaining units, totalling 9,500 sq ft, offering further opportunities to companies looking for modern, high quality office space in an attractive courtyard environment with excellent transport links.
Bilfinger GVA acts as joint agents at Woodlands Court with DTZ.
