New scheme brings much needed industrial space to market in Bridgwater

A well-located scheme in Bridgwater, just a few miles from Hinkley C, has just come to the market with real estate advisor Avison Young appointed jointly with Greenslade Taylor Hunt.

Bridgwater Trade Park is a new, purpose-built park, being developed by asset managers Craigard. Suitable for warehouse, industrial or trade counter uses, work is now starting on the development, following planning permission granted by Sedgemoor District Council. The scheme will be ready for occupancy in October 2019.

Bridgwater Trade Park is strategically positioned in a long-established business location fronting the A38 with easy access to both J23 and J24 of the M5 motorway, only 12 miles from Hinkley Point.

James Short, Surveyor at Avison Young says: “It is particularly rare to be able to purchase buildings in Bridgwater at the moment and availability for both leasehold and long leasehold opportunities are thin on the ground with Bridgwater attracting good demand off the back of Hinkley C.”

The scheme comprises a mix of units from 5,000-40,000 sq ft (464 sq m – 3,716 sq m) available to let or buy. Each unit in the first phase includes 5.6m clear minimum eaves and full height electrically operated sectional shutter loading doors – 13 ft (4m) wide and 16ft 3” (5m) high.

Duncan Brown from Greenslade Taylor Hunt adds, “For occupiers with larger requirements, there is the opportunity to consolidate units. All the units include parking, but Unit 5 also includes a self-contained secure yard.”

Phase two of Bridgwater Trade Park will be developed over an adjacent 1.4 acres and will offer the opportunity for design and build options, open storage and potential speculative development.
