Construction is underway on Unit D at Beauchamp Business Park, a new commercial development in Kibworth, Leicestershire. The steel frame is complete, with cladding and roofing works now ongoing at the 10,000 sq ft building. Completion is expected in May 2024.
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.
A sign of the popularity of the site, the freehold of Unit D has already been acquired by a local company. IMA Architects has worked closely with the purchaser to update the initial plans to make sure they met the requirements of the business. The building will be split into two 5,000 sq ft units, each with their own service yard.
Construction of the first phase of Beauchamp Business Park began in September 2023 and 80% of the units were sold or under offer within two months of being made available for enquiries.
The second phase of Beauchamp Business Park has secured planning consent and will see the creation of two additional terraces and a self-contained detached unit to be used for B1 and B2 use class.
Construction is scheduled to begin in Summer 2024 with completion expected in early 2025. 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.
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, adds: “As the initial plans were amended to meet the needs of the occupier, construction work on Unit D has been delayed slightly, so we are pleased to now see the steel frames in place.
“Working closely with occupiers to ensure they get the building that matches their needs is hugely important to us and we are looking forward to delivering the building in the coming months.”
Kevin Webster, Associate Director at Clowes Developments, adds: “Our long-standing relationship with IMA Architects enables a fluid design process from inception to delivery.
“This flexibility provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with end users by tweaking plans to suit their requirements, something we have found useful over the years. We look forward to bringing forward phase two in the next few months and encourage enquiries through our agents TDBRE and Philips Sutton.”
