COMMERCIAL property developer Barberry Industrial Ltd has unveiled plans for an £11million advanced manufacturing unit in Coventry.
The plans would see the development of a 50,750sq ft industrial unit at Ansty Park which is a hub for research and high-tech manufacturing.
Ansty Park is already home to companies such as Rolls-Royce, MTC and the London Taxi Company.
The new building will be targeting high environmental standards to achieve BREEAM excellent status, with detailed planning consent submitted to Rugby Borough Council.
The BREEAM scheme takes into account the energy efficiency of a building, how sustainably it was built and how it fares in creating a space for a sustainable business to operate and thrive.
Ansty Park was partly chosen because of its direct access to the motorway network via junction two of the M6 and junction one of the M69, and Coventry, Birmingham and East Midlands airports are being within a 40-minute drive.
Barberry development director Jon Robinson said: “Ansty Park is a fantastic location for Barberry’s latest development, being one of the most significant business and technology parks in the Midlands.
“We are excited to unveil Barberry 50, a high-tech, build-to-suit unit which is ideal for a new headquarters facility or centre of excellence for a suitable occupier, available on both a leasehold and freehold basis.
“New buildings such as this help to create the quality accommodation that local, regional and national businesses need in order to expand their operations within the Midlands, creating new jobs and attracting investment.”
