Phase one completes at Castle Donington business park

All units in phase one at Stud Brook Business Park have now achieved practical completion, and have been officially handed over to their new occupiers.

Industry leaders including Argon Medical, Bucher Municipal, Unilode, and Shawpak are either fully operational or finalising their fit outs, with plans to be fully operational by summer 2025.

Phase one features a range of industrial and distribution units from 8,500 to 30,000 sq ft. Delivered on time and in line with a tight construction programme, the development overcame several challenges.

Duncan Paterson, contracts manager at TanRo, said: “Stud Brook was a logistically and technically complex scheme, located adjacent to an ongoing residential development and East Midlands Airport. Working under strict working-at-height restrictions presented significant challenges, but our team rose to the challenge.

“None of this would have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our on-site team. We also extend our gratitude to our subcontractors, who overcame every challenge with professionalism and delivered excellent results throughout.

“We are proud to have successfully delivered another major project for our client, Clowes Developments, on programme and to the exceptional standards they rightly expect.”

The project delivery was supported by IMA Architects, Millward Consulting Engineers, Geldards LLP, and Postins Project Services.

Meanwhile, Roe Developments has commenced construction of Units 1B to 1F, which will comprise five new trade counter units, ranging from 3,229 to 4,606 sq ft. The units will wrap around the now fully operational Starbucks Drive-Thru, located prominently at the front of the park.

Plot 1 also neighbours the newly opened Sainsbury’s Local, offering added convenience and footfall for future occupiers. Several tenants are already lined up, with announcements expected soon.

James Richards, director, Clowes Developments, said: “With household names like Starbucks and Sainsbury’s on site and prominent industrial occupiers such as Unilode, Argon Medical, Bucher Municipal, and Shawpak, Stud Brook is quickly becoming a vibrant commercial destination. We’re proud of what’s been achieved and excited about what’s still to come.”

Richard Sutton, director at NG Chartered Surveyors, said: “Stud Brook Business Park is another great example of what Clowes Developments does best. Its success comes down to a prime location, high-quality sustainable buildings, and a well-thought-out mix of amenities. With only three units remaining at completion, it’s clear the market has responded strongly.

“The addition of Sainsbury’s Local and Starbucks has been a real plus, making the park even more attractive for businesses and their staff. Future phases will build on this, adding more retail and trade counter units to serve the growing community.

“Quite simply, the quality of what Clowes delivers, and the way they support their occupiers, is second to none.”
