Industrial/Warehouse News
Clowes Developments, alongside lead contractor Roe Developments, has achieved practical completion of Plot 1 at Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington. This milestone marks the successful delivery of five high-quality industrial, warehouse and trade counter units, developed speculatively to meet growing occupier demand in one of the East Midlands most strategically connected commercial locations.
The newly completed units range from 3,234 sq ft to 4,653 sq ft and sit in a highly prominent position off the Castle Donington bypass, just moments from East Midlands Airport and the M1 linking the East Midlands major cities. Their completion reinforces Clowes Developments’ long-standing commitment to delivering modern, high-specification commercial space across the region.
Stud Brook Business Park occupies a highly prominent roadside position, offering occupiers excellent branding opportunities and strong visibility to passing trade. The scheme is arranged around a spacious, open-plan car park with EV charging points and includes a fully operational Starbucks Drive-Thru, further enhancing on-site facilities.
The units have achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’ and an EPC rating of ‘A’. They are photovoltaic roof panel-ready and incorporate 10% natural rooflight panels to maximise internal daylight.
Each unit benefits from its own level-access loading door, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed glazing, and a dedicated entrance, making them ideally suited to trade counter, industrial or warehouse operators.
James Richards, Director at Clowes Developments, said:
“We are proud to present these brand-new trade counter units at Stud Brook Business Park, delivering much-needed, high-quality commercial space at a time when supply of small to mid-sized units remains extremely limited across the region. Our decision to build speculatively reflects our confidence in the local market and the strategic strength of Castle Donington as a business location. With excellent transport links and strong demand from a diverse range of occupiers, we anticipate significant interest in these new units and look forward to welcoming new businesses to the park.”
Tim Gilbertson, Director at FHP Property Consultants commented on the newly completed units:
“Credit again to Clowes Developments for speculatively building out top quality industrial/warehouse/trade counter space at Stud Brook Business Park, Castle Donington. The latest tranche of development sees five further units built, with sizes ranging from 3,234ft² to 4,653ft², prominently set off the Castle Donington bypass, virtually next to East Midlands Airport.
With the units now ready for occupation and likely to suit a wide variety of occupiers, we are hopeful these buildings will let quickly.”
Richard Sutton, NG Chartered Surveyors added,
“The trade counter phase at Stud Brook presents a rare opportunity for businesses to secure exceptionally versatile space designed to support both operational activity and direct customer interaction from the same premises. This flexibility makes the units ideal for a wide range of occupiers, from plumbers and electrical suppliers to tool hire companies, auto parts specialists and many others.
The location alone offers outstanding visibility, and each unit has been purpose-built for trade counter use, featuring high ceilings, roller shutter doors and strong signage opportunities. This ‘turnkey-ready’ design significantly reduces fit-out costs for incoming occupiers.
Adaptability is at the heart of the scheme, these units can support pure warehouse operations, light industrial processes, showroom and storage uses, distribution and logistics, or retail trade functions, depending on a business’s needs.”
Stud Brook Business Park is already home to a number of well-known businesses, with convenient onsite amenity including a Sainsbury’s Local and Starbuck’s Drive-Thru and the delivery of Plot 1 provides further opportunity for companies seeking modern premises with excellent access to the M1, A50 and A42. Stud Brook is currently one of the few small-scale new build commercial schemes ready for occupation in the East Midlands, reinforcing its position as a leading business park in the region.
The agents are actively welcoming enquiries from potential occupiers, noting the rarity of small units of this quality in such a prominent setting.
