A joint venture between St Francis Group and iSec have prelet a 110,000 sq ft tech centre in Bristol to automotive and aerospace company, GKN Aerospace.
The scheme also includes 40,000 sq ft of office space which was prelet to the company, with funding provided by BP Pension Fund.
The scheme sits in the jv’s overall Horizon38 scheme, which it acquired in 2015. Since then, nearly 500,000 sq ft of warehouse space, a new hotel and a car shop, prelet to Volvo Cars, has been developed at the site.
Gareth Williams, development director at St Francis Group, said: “When we were presented in 2017 with GKN Aerospace’s vision for a network of regional technology centres across the globe, it was clear that this could be one of our more exciting development projects.
“We are delighted that Horizon38 was selected as the location for this centre of excellence, and for St Francis Group and iSec to have played a key role in the continued promotion of GKN Aerospace as a leading technology-led global business.”
