MEPC has secured a 32,000 sq ft prelet to Serco Assurance which will enable it to develop the final phase of its Bridgewater Place scheme in Warrington, Cheshire.
The 250,000 sq ft Bridgewater Place business park is part of MEPC’s 123-acre Birchwood Park. The developer will deliver a 47,500 sq ft building, to be called 305 Bridgewater Place, on the back of the Serco letting.
Technical consultancy Serco already occupies 95,000 sq ft at Bridgewater Place.
MEPC Birchwood Park’s managing director, Jonathan Walsh, said: “This is one of the only major prelets in the regional property market so far this year, and enables us to forge ahead with the completion of Bridgewater Place, which has been the most successful new office scheme in the North West with occupiers including the Department of Work & Pensions, Halcrow, GB Oils, Electricity North West and David Wilson Homes.”
