Bidwells and Adalta Real appointed to Bicester Motion Innovation development
Property consultancy Bidwells has been appointed as joint agents alongside Adalta Real on Bicester Motion’s new Innovation development.
Bicester Motion Innovation is the next part of the 1 million square feet Bicester Motion site, which will ultimately comprise four zones: Bicester Motion Heritage, Experience, Innovation and Wilderness, all connected by a central grass airfield.
The Bicester Motion Innovation development will be a new hub for market-disrupting businesses in the mobility space. Development will sit within the established campus setting, adjacent to Bicester Heritage and within close reach of on-site amenities including cafes, bars, event space and access to the airfield and test track.
Working alongside Adalta Real, Bidwells will provide additional support in prospecting new specialist businesses to join the established Bicester Motion site.
