Singapore's Mapletree Investments has secured what it says is an all-time high occupancy at its Green Park business park in Reading, after securing a flurry of lettings.
Mapletree has taken the park to 95.5% occupancy after securing a series of tenants for a total of 38,000 sq ft.
It has signed four new lettings totalling 25,000 sq ft, as well as three current occupiers who have expanded, taking an additional space of 13,000 sq ft.
Mapletree said there are currently further deals in the pipeline, "which are driven by growth of existing occupiers".
Rory Carson, Mapletree’s vice-president of asset management in the UK, said in a statement: "The high level of deal activity we’ve seen over the past two quarters is a testament to the enduring design of our buildings, together with our strong occupier-centric approach which places community and wellbeing at the heart of all that we do at Green Park.”
Carson added: “We are delighted that our current occupiers are choosing to remain and expand on Green Park and that the clustering trend of the Life Science sector, as well as the Technology, Media and Telecom (TMT) industries continue to strengthen. This continued demand for space at Green Park has underpinned our decision to move forward with the speculative development at 400 & 450 Longwater Avenue. These two new buildings will provide, approximately, a further 230,000 sq ft of grade A offices.”
Zoe Teychenne, senior director of human resources at Premier Research, due to move to Green Park this autumn, said, “Our employees are excited to move to the new offices in Green Park this Autumn. The new facilities are modern and built with the idea of continuous collaboration. The amenities far exceed our expectations and align with our wellness initiatives (walking trails, gym, healthy foods). This is a work environment that will help us attract top talent into the organisation.”
