Bluestone Centre first phase fully sold

Unit 12, The Bluestone Centre, Solstice Park, Amesbury.

The initial phase of the first new-build business centre development for more than a decade on the giant 160-acre Solstice Park at Amesbury is now fully sold.

The first phase of 12 units has been developed at The Bluestone Centre by Salisbury-based Nationwide Engineering Group.

The sale of Unit 12 to a private owner-occupier came in a deal brokered by property consultancy Myddelton & Major. The quoting price was £187,500.

Myddelton & Major Commercial Agency Surveyor said: “I was not at all surprised to see this exciting new development of units suitable for office, light industrial and warehouse use proving to be so successful.

“Phase 1 of the high-specification centre was completed in 2017 and many of the units – ranging from 1,485 sq ft to 2,270 sq ft were sold off-plan.

“This demonstrates both a growing confidence in the region’s commercial property market and an acute shortage of capacity in an area where demand outstrips supply.”

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.”

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.

The Bluestone Centre – named after ancient stones at nearby Stonehenge – is on Sun Rise Way, which forms part of the 160-acre mixed use park.
