Lift firm going up with new unit at Bluestone Centre

An industrial unit at the rapidly-filling Bluestone Centre at Amesbury has been acquired by a lift company.

Luna Lifts has taken a five-year lease on Unit 8 at the first new business centre development for more than a decade on the town’s giant 160-acre Solstice Park.

Property consultancy Myddelton & Major brokered a deal for the 1,485 sq ft (137.96 sq m) unit for which the quoting rent was £8,750 per annum.

Myddelton & Major Commercial Agency Surveyor Gary Mead said: “Luna Lifts is a platform lift specialist which is a supply, installation and maintenance provider for the disabled access market.

“The Andover-headquartered company which provides quality, user friendly, reliable and cost effective solutions to both domestic and commercial markets was seeking new premises and Bluestone proved ideal.”

Luna’s new unit is a mid-terrace, newly-constructed industrial/warehouse unit with full height up and over shutter doors.

It provides workshop/storage space, together with additional mezzanine floor for storage or conversion to office.

Bluestone is the first new business centre development at the strategically-located Solstice Park since the Beacon Centre in 2005 and is significant for employment prospects in Wiltshire with 131,630 people of employment age living within a 30 minute drive.”

The 36-unit centre is being developed by Salisbury-based Nationwide Engineering Group with the first phase of 12 completed last year.

Solstice Park, Amesbury, just nine miles north of Salisbury, has good links to the motorway network via the A303/M3 to London and to the north via the A34 to the M4 and M40.
