Commercial Development Projects have landed a double with two new occupiers at Admiral Court, Cheshire Business Park.    ITC Consulting and KBC Advanced Technologies Plc have both agreed five and ten year leases respectively on a further 8,000 sq ft in two separate transactions.  The quoting rental level for the scheme is £14.50 per sq ft and freehold prices are £150 per sq.ft.

 

These latest lettings have led to Admiral Court – the first speculative office phase of the Cheshire Business Park, which is being developed by Marshall CDP – becoming 50% let with other occupiers including CommsCare, K&L Freight and Elliot Packaging. An 80 bed Travelodge and Marston’s Pub have also recently opened on the Park. 

 

Richard Smith of joint letting agents, Fifield Glyn who acted jointly with Cushman and Wakefield for CDP comments: “Despite the challenging economic and general market conditions, we are continuing to experience a strong level of occupier demand in North Cheshire and these latest transactions are evidence of this. Cheshire is one of the most affluent counties in the country and many businesses in the region are continually looking to review their operational requirements for new premises. Admiral Court offers exceptional high quality office accommodation in an unrivalled environment, with excellent motorway links and the recent opening of the other amenity will only further compliment our offer.”

Edward Fifield (Director) and Ros Fifield (former Company Secretary) raised over £2,000 during 2011 for the Neuro Muscular Centre, which is one of Fifield Glyn’s chosen charities.
Edward took part in the June 2011 Cholmondeley Castle Triathlon raising £1,750 (pictured in the centre) and Ros Fifield raised £350 dressed in Hawaiian theme at a horse show in August 2011.

This is an exciting time for our business; having recently acquired British Salt and re-branded as Tata Chemicals Europe. Now we will have a new office built to the latest environmental standards as well as developing a project demonstrating the use of zero carbon heating via process waste heat which forms  an important part our wider carbon emission reduction plans .”

 

Bob Nicholson, Head of Property Development at Pochin Developments Limited comments: “We are delighted with Royal Bank of Scotland’s continued support of Pochin Developments in financing this prestigious project.  Our experienced project team has engaged extensively with the client and stakeholders to ensure that the design and ultimately the completed building, is of the highest quality, sustainable and energy efficient.  The design incorporates several unique principles for example, heating is provided solely by waste heat from the adjacent manufacturing facilities, permeable surfaces and rainwater harvesting will also virtually remove surface water run off.”

Tata Chemicals Europe can now look forward to the development of a new Head Office that will meet their brief for a sustainable building that forms part of their wider business objective of carbon emissions reduction”

 

Geoff Hope-Terry of The Weaver Valley Partnership said: “This area has a lot of innovative people and some great companies and this project shows what can happen when the various elements come together.  As well as introducing some exciting design ‘firsts’ into the structure, it’s also good news for local jobs, both within the construction sector and for the on-going position at Tata.  My congratulations go to everyone involved.”

Fifield Glyn have formed an association with APC London Limited to promote the firm’s services in New Delhi. Sameer Ahuja of APC London Limited based in New Delhi says “I have an increasing number of Indian clients looking to invest in the UK particularly in Central London high value residential properties.  Fifield Glyn have considerable contacts with such property owners through their block management business from their Mayfair base in Carlos Place opposite the Connaught Hotel. I believe that they can provide the sort of service my clients are looking for and I am very pleased to have entered into an association with them.”

Chairman, John Fifield and his wife, Ros made a short visit to New Delhi at the beginning of October to meet with some of APC’s clients and to look at the development prospects in New Delhi which might appeal to Fifield Glyn’s developer clients. John said “New Delhi is a fast-expanding market with a huge development programme in both commercial and residential properties to meet the very strong local and international market for the nation’s capital city. New Delhi’s population is 21.72 million and is scheduled to grow to 30 million by 2021. I have no doubt that there will be some great opportunities for UK developers and investors over the next few years.”

Ros and John Fifield are pictured in front of the Taj Mahal at Agra, some 150 miles from New Delhi, which they managed to visit during their brief trip.
