A Bath property developer has started work on a £50m business park which is one of only a handful across the south of England capable of attracting an occupier looking for 250,000 sq ft in a single building.
The 35-acre Hawke Ridge Business Park on the A350 corridor between Trowbridge and Westbury will offer buildings of various sizes for a range of businesses. 
Bath-based property developer HPH says it will “raise the bar in commercial property standards” with excellent access to key north-south and east-west road routes as well as mainline rail services. It will also incorporate the very latest in high-speed fibre optic broadband connectivity.
Family-owned HPH, which has a long track record of property development around Bath and Wiltshire, has made an initial £2m investment in Hawke Ridge Business Park as the first phase of the £50m scheme.
It said the site has the flexibility for up to a quarter of a million square feet in a single unit – making it one of a very few sites under development in Southern England that can accommodate a major national relocation or international relocation for a large space user.
HPH managing director Lindsay Holdoway, pictured, said: “Our commitment is to provide new commercial space which meets the latest standards expected from the more demanding of occupiers, delivering the very latest levels of practicality, flexibility and efficiency.
“Our new business park at Hawke Ridge is a case in point where we will be delivering environmentally sustainable, efficient space, designed to meet the needs of our occupiers enabling their businesses to succeed and grow.
“We see ourselves as more than just a commercial property provider, rather a facilitator of enterprise. It’s a two-way process, by understanding and responding to an occupier’s needs we can develop a property strategy which is co-ordinated with their business plan adding value to their business.”
Hawke Ridge Business Park is being marketed by property agency Alder King’s Swindon office and the Bristol office of JLL.
