By leveraging our expert market insight into what science and tech occupiers need from their space and business location, you can align your proposals to fund and develop with confidence.
Disposal of a 236,000 sq ft multi-let commercial business park
Our grasp of shifting supply, demand and rents mean we spot trends early to ensure you deliver what the local occupier market wants at the right time.
This deep understanding of the local marketplace gives us an instinctive feel for what works well in our local markets’ research clusters, train station city gateways and established edge-of-city and out-of-town science parks.
We’ll run accurate appraisals on all the options, providing a steer on rents, exit yields, the voids you need to build in, how to best structure and finance the deal and the right mix of uses to maximise values. Finally, we will set up your leasing strategy and seamlessly secure pre-lets on the best possible terms.
Our agency team in Cambridge has pre-let every new office and laboratory scheme built in the city over 50,000 sq ft over the last eight years.
We understand occupier needs across all scales of occupier from incubators, fast-scaling businesses and international corporates, and deliver successful pre-letting strategies
