GVA completes letting at Solar Park, Solihull on behalf of Ignis

Leading independent property adviser, GVA has completed a 31,137 sq ft letting at Solar Park, Solihull on behalf of Ignis UK Property Fund.

Production and distribution unit Solar 610 has been let on a 10 year lease to Centor Europe Limited, a worldwide manufacturer of sliding door systems, represented by Salway Bradbury. The company will relocate its existing European Headquarters to Solar 610 from Monkspath Business Park.

Peter Watkins, Centor Europe, said: “Solihull has been the home of our European headquarters since 2004 and has provided us with an outstanding location from which to operate. Solar 610 will offer us an ideal new base from which to serve our European customers while the additional space will allow us to increase our production capacity and create an extra 30 positions.”

Chris Kershaw, Director, GVA, said: “Solar Park, purchased by Ignis UK Property Fund in 2012, provides attractive, contemporary industrial units on a well-managed private estate, that offer appeal to a wide range of occupiers. Solihull is a key M42 location for industrial and logistics operators, with great links to the national motorway, railway and airport networks.”

Centor will join existing tenants at Solar Park, including John Lewis Partnership, Amtico International, Telefonica UK and MMX Communications.

GVA is sole letting agent for Solar Park. Unit 620, a 24,831 sq ft unit, is the last remaining building available at £150,000 pa (£6.04p psf).
