Exceptional demand at new business centre

A new development of business units in mid-Dorset is quickly filling up – even before construction ends.

The latest phases at Glenmore Business Park and the adjoining Blandford Trade Park are being snapped up off plan.

The two developments, currently being built adjacent to the main A350 trunk road in Blandford, are due to be occupied by the autumn.

Myddelton & Major Partner Dean Speer said: “The highly prominent site’s location speaks for itself as we have already pre-let six units.

“There is just one unit remaining at Blandford Trade Park – with three let to the charity Weldmar Hospicecare Trust and another three let to rural products supplier Countrywide Farmers PLC. Unit A had already been presold to Yesss Electrical.”

The remaining unit of 2,599 sq ft is available for sale freehold for £295,000 or to rent at £23,000 per annum.

At Glenmore Business Park construction is continuing on the new phase of 11 units in Blocks E and F, ranging from 1,355 sq ft to 1,420 sq ft and set in a landscaped business park location. These units offer industrial, warehouse and trade counter space and the opportunity to add offices.

One unit is already under offer and the others are available through Myddelton & Major which is marketing the site jointly with Goadsby and Symonds & Sampson.

Each unit will have a roller shutter door, upvc windows and doors, all mains services, allocated parking and a loading area.

Glenmore Business Park is opposite the established Blandford Heights Industrial Estate and close to the bustling town centre and road links.

It is being developed by London-based investment and development company Glenmore Commercial Estates which has been behind many similar developments across southern England.

The land immediately adjacent has been sold to Lidl who have submitted a planning application to build a 27,000 sq ft supermarket which is expected to be open by summer 2017.

Myddelton & Major was named the most active agency in Wiltshire in 2015 for the fourth year running by Estates Gazette, the weekly and online magazine of the UK commercial property industry.
