Description
Bicester Arc is one of the most exciting sites available in the UK today – thanks to its location, connectivity and sustainable credentials. Most importantly, with the availability of 13.7 MVA of power, Bicester Arc can satisfy the most demanding of occupier requirements.
Bicester Arc is located five minutes from junction 9 of the M40 and offers a fully serviced site with a variety of plots. Bicester is in an area of rapid housing growth with an ambition to double its population to 50,000 by 2031. Bicester Arc offers access to a wide and diverse workforce in a dynamic location close to the world-renowned city of Oxford.
With an available 13.7 MVA power supply on site, via a dedicated primary substation, Bicester Arc is able to offer certainty and delivery for occupiers with specific power requirements.
The site benefits from three different planning permissions that include:
Outline planning permission of more than 600,000 sq. ft. of development
Detailed planning permission for a 60,000 sq. ft. headquarters office / laboratory building
Detailed planning permission for a 100,000 sq. ft. Office and Research & Development facility, across two individual buildings.
These detailed planning permissions mean that construction is able to start at Bicester Arc immediately offering certainty on delivery.
Bicester Arc offers occupiers ultimate flexibility with a variety of plots that can be split or combined. This means that the site is suitable for a single occupier or a campus of buildings for any company wanting to create its own identity in a single location through a variety of different building types and uses.
Bicester Arc is designed with sustainability in mind. All buildings will be designed and built to achieve
a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and EPC ‘A’. Externally, buildings will sit on landscaped plots and a dedicated 15-acre eco park will be available for the occupiers of the development, providing a habitat rich environment along with walking routes for people to enjoy.
