Construction has begun on Phase Two of Beauchamp Business Park, a new commercial development in Kibworth, Leicestershire. Due to the strength of demand for units at the site, construction of Phase Two has started earlier than originally planned.
Beauchamp Business Park is being brought forward by Clowes Developments and its team including IMA Architects, TanRo, Millward Consulting Engineers, Gateley’s Legal and Postins Project Services. Philips Sutton and TDBRE have been instructed as agents on the scheme.
Planning permission for Phase Two was granted by Harborough District Council in December 2023. The second phase will see the creation of two additional terraces and a self-contained detached unit to be used for B1 and B2 use class. Completion is expected in late 2024.
When complete, Beauchamp Business Park will feature a series of freehold and leasehold industrial units ranging from 1,270 sq ft to 10,085 sq ft.
Construction of the first phase of the development began in September 2023. Due to the demand for units from local business owners and investors, the construction of Phase Two has started earlier than originally planned. 80% of the units on Phase One were sold or under offer within two months of being made available for enquiries, and there is similar interest in Phase Two, with Unit E already under offer.
Clowes Developments have retained IMA Architects who are providing all architectural services and acting as Principal Designer on the scheme.
Ben Hall, director at IMA Architects, says: “The popularity of the site demonstrates the need for quality, well located industrial space in the local area. Phase Two was originally planned to begin in the summer, but due to the demand it was decided that the construction teams could remain on site and push on with the next phase.
“My colleagues and I are proud to be working with Clowes Developments to deliver another site that will bring economic growth and employment opportunities to Leicestershire.”
Kevin Webster, associate director at Clowes Developments, adds: “Groundworks have begun on the second phase, and we are hopeful that the whole site will be finished ahead of schedule. I am already looking forward to the occupiers moving into the units and seeing Beauchamp Business Park really come to life.”
