Rula Developments Development Director Anthony Clitheroe, said “We know that there is significant demand for purpose-built space in the area and are considering our delivery options based on current occupier discussions. We are open to let or sell either one larger unit, split the site, or potentially forward fund for speculative delivery.”
The scheme could be delivered by Q1 2026.”
CPP and Colliers are retained as marketing agents for the new development. Architects, The Harris Partnership has designed the scheme alongside Adept Consulting Engineers, and RPP while ID Planning is supported the planning application process.
