Milton Keynes Company Clinches Agency Deal for 10m Business Hub

Milton Keynes commercial chartered surveyors, Kirkby & Diamond, are to play a key part in the development of Newport Pagnell’s huge new showpiece business hub, which is expected to create a thousand jobs.

The £10m project - already underway - will fill a huge gap for affordable office and industrial space for entrepreneurs and businesses that want space near the motorway network, and Kirkby & Diamond will be acting as a major letting agent, while also looking for specific tenants.

Said Kirkby & Diamond senior surveyor Jay Raj: “This is a huge development which will see a former storage warehouse and offices converted into a hi-tech business hub that will offer businesses instant premises without the hassle of long leases.

“The buildings have been bought through us by the highly respected business premises company, Bucks Biz Business Centres, who have a reputation for above average accommodation, no-hassle rents and looking after their clients. They are fraternal in their attitude to clients and it shows in the stress-free atmosphere at their existing business centres around Milton Keynes.

“Millions of pounds are being invested in this new project to make it one of the finest business centres in Britain, with work underway just days after the company completed the sale in July. We expect units in the main offices to be ready for occupation in the autumn.”

The new centre - Interchange House - will feature eco-friendly systems throughout, super-fast broadband and the company’s own telephone system for fast installation.

A first floor terrace and verandah will promote a “cafe society” feel and there will be separate entrances for industrial and business users, with business meeting and conference facilities off the new £500,000 reception area.

Said bucks-biz.com MD Joe Muscat: “We are developing space where entrepreneurs and existing businesses can thrive in a relaxed atmosphere, alongside a charming country town, yet very near the motorway network.”

“We had no hesitation in asking Kirkby & Diamond to act for us and they are also being hired to seek further sites for our expansion programme around the region.”
