Slough: SEGRO launches new speculative office scheme

SEGRO has launched its new 68,000 sq ft speculative office scheme in Slough at an event in London. The development, which has already secured planning permission, is located at 234 Bath Road on the Slough Trading Estate, a popular headquarter location for multinational corporates.

Demolition is due to commence in November with completion set for Spring 2016.  Large floorplates will offer grade-A office accommodation ranging in size from 22,000 sq ft to 68,000 sq ft, which can be let to a single company or multiple occupiers.

The design of the building includes a spectacular double height entrance to provide a real sense of arrival. The development will also include 223 car parking spaces. A BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating is targeted, as retaining the basement and large elements of the podium and frame structure has reduced carbon consumption and environmental impact.

Gareth Osborn, business unit director for Thames Valley at SEGRO, said: “The launch of 234 Bath Road underlines our confidence in the market for this type of product in a location which remains attractive to customers. The Thames Valley office market has seen a fall in the availability of grade-A accommodation and the new development at 234 Bath Road is well placed to meet occupier demand.

“This latest speculative development forms part of the ongoing wider redevelopment of the Slough Trading Estate which remains a world-class location for businesses operating in a range of sectors and disciplines.”

JLL and Savills are the leasing agents for 234 Bath Road.
