Fairham Business Park springs to life

Fairham Business Park, which is being developed and managed by Clowes Developments, is open for business, with occupiers including Vision Express (Essilor Luxottica) and Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) Ltd now on site and fully operational from their new premises.

Situated in Fairham, the flagship 606-acre brand new neighbourhood just minutes from the centre of Nottingham, Fairham Business Park offers one million square feet of purpose-built commercial space, with over half of this already built and occupied and a further two units under construction, it felt the right time for property developers, Clowes, to open the business park spine road, Foresters Avenue.

James Richards, Development Director at Fairham Business Park and Clowes Developments commented,

“We are thrilled to announce that Fairham Business Park is officially open for business. Whilst there remains construction on certain plots, this milestone marks a significant step forward for our community, with leading local manufacturing companies already on site and two additional manufacturing and logistics occupiers to be named soon. This vibrant hub of industry and innovation is set to drive economic growth and create numerous opportunities for the region.”

The Fairham Business Park design code features the highest quality buildings dedicated to both sustainability and economic advantage set within 200-acres of landscaped infrastructure and surroundings across Fairham.

In line with this, Clowes have taken the plunge and invested heavily into the business park’s 50-acres of green open space and landscaping Foresters Avenue with established planting. Whitings Landscaping have successfully completed an extensive planting task over the last six weeks, with a variety of trees, shrubs, flora and fauna now embedded into the business park’s DNA. The planting is heavily centred around creating an impressive vista along Foresters Avenue, with its infrastructure designed to create clean, straight lines down the middle of the business park featuring wide footpaths, a treelined street scene, and low-level evergreen planting allowing the business park’s workforce to benefit from beautiful views across the fields. There is also a designated footpath around one of the park’s attenuation ponds providing a clear walkway all year round.

With half of the site now under offer or sold, there remains opportunities for build to suit facilities on the prominent site adjoining the A453 and outside of Nottingham’s Workplace Parking Levy. The next phase of the development will see not just manufacturing and distribution space available but also space suitable for offices, a hotel, leisure facilities and other conveniences including roadside retail and trade counters. Fairham Business Park offers a unique opportunity for Nottingham businesses to expand, harvest investment and nurture local talent.

The business park has excellent transport links into the city of Nottingham including fully accessible cycle routes and walkways. Fairham Business Park is within easy reach of Junction 24 of the M1, East Midlands Airport and adjoining the NET Tram Park & Ride site, with further transport improvements expected. Fairham Business Park offers the perfect location for conducting business and harnessing local talent.
