New Oxford freehold development takes shape

Building work has started on a major commercial development which will be Oxford’s first freehold scheme in a decade.

Glenmore Business Park will consist of 14 light industrial and warehouse units covering 16,000 sq ft in a prime position at Langford Locks, Kidlington. Unit sizes range between 1,065 sq ft and 1,342 sq ft, although they could be combined to form larger areas if necessary.

Each will have a first floor that can be used as office accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. Other features will include six meter internal eaves height, sectional roller shutter loading doors, 10 per cent daylight roof panels and allocated parking spaces.

Tom Barton, director of commercial property agents VSL & Partners which is the sole agent for the site, said: “Freehold properties have been hard to come by in Oxford over the last decade so not surprisingly there is already a huge amount of interest in this development.

“As well as having excellent modern facilities, the site is ideally situated for the A34, M40, Oxford Parkway train station and Oxford Airport, making it an ideal choice for expanding companies and ambitious small businesses.”

Glenmore Business Park is expected to be completed by summer 2018.
