Bracknell Bounces

On the basis of a number of substantial requirements and an increase in enquiries, it looks as if Bracknell could be the most active town in the Thames Valley this year. The buoyancy has certainly provided a lively start to Simon Fryer’s new agency in the town, Fryer Commercial, in its first few months. Fryer said: “There is plenty of business in Bracknell with lots of properties on offer. There are seven known and named companies seeking 11,613 sq.metres (125,000 sq.ft.) which has meant a rise in the number of viewings and proposals.” He added that there are another three companies looking at taking offices in Bracknell, including some who have not been located there before. “This is very encouraging,” said Fryer, whose firm, together with NB Real Estate, is marketing the 10,223 sq.metres Lakeside office
complex owned by Commercial Estate. This was previously owned by Prupim and occupied by Cable & Wireless.
Fryer said: “We are offering highly competitive deals at Lakeside which means tenants have no bills to pay before
moving in, no fit out costs and a monthly rent.” Commercial Estates is improving the building by adding a gym and shop.
The timing of RO Developments’ new scheme for two offices totalling 10,220 sq.metres (110,000 sq.ft.) in Bracknell will, on the basis of recent activity, be spot on. It has detailed planning permission for two buildings, in association with Urban Switch, in Market Street, Bracknell town centre. The largest of these will be 6,968 q.metres (75,000 sq.ft.) and
they are designed to achieve the BREEAM rating of excellent. ROD’s Andy Busby said: “We have secured a number of other town centre sites with generous on site parking and close to main line railway stations to give occupiers and their staff a real choice as to how they travel to work.” Bracknell has a well developed road network and is close to the M3 and M4 motorways. Joint letting agents are Knight Frank and Jones Lang LaSalle. Meanwhile, Bracknell Forest Council has adopted a new Character Area Assessments document that will become one of its Supplementary Planning
Documents and a basis for considering future planning applications.
