Technology company Yunex Traffic Limited has committed to a new lease for up to 20 years at a modern 160,000 sq ft unit in Aviation Business Park.
The site, at Bournemouth Airport, will act as the company’s new UK headquarters, as it moves out of the former Siemens site in Poole. The technology firm provides data and mobility consultation services for local authorities, regional cities and transport businesses and exports to over 65 countries. They will join Honeywell, Hobbycraft, Curtiss Wright and Beyond Retail Group who are also occupiers in the business park.
Built in 2014, 1 Viscount Road is part of a 7.6-acre site, which includes a 120,000 sq ft warehouse, with mezzanine floors, plus a further 39,000 sq ft of high-quality office accommodation. The unit benefits from 9.16m minimum eaves, a large secure yard, seven level access docks, and more than 300 parking spaces.
Wilke Reints, Managing Director, of Yunex Traffic UK said: “We’re thrilled to have been able to secure a new site for our headquarters in the south. This is an important move for our business as our company continues to grow and strengthens our position as leaders in the intelligent traffic and mobility industry. We’re looking forward to creating a space that’s bespoke to the almost 500 colleagues set to move to the new location providing them with the accessibility so we can continue to attract talent from across the region, while also meeting our distribution needs.”
Alex Van Den Bogerd, from Colliers’ Industrial & Logistics team based in Bristol, advised Yunex Traffic on the acquisition. He said: “We’re pleased to have been able to secure this site for Yunex Traffic. It’s rare to find a solution of this size in the area, that met all of the business’ needs from both a warehouse and office perspective. This acquisition demonstrates a significant investment from the business into futureproofing their operations as well as providing them with space to grow further.”
Colliers Project & Building Consultancy were also significantly involved in the project and completed all pre-acquisition due diligence and oversaw the landlord’s works throughout. Colliers PBC are instructed to act on Yunex’s behalf and negotiate outgoing dilapidations at their existing facility in Poole.
CBRE acted for Eastleigh Borough Council.
