Work has begun on a 100,000+ sq ft industrial development at Silverstone Park.

The scheme, Evolve, is on a six-acre plot next to both the park’s innovation centre and the entrance to Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit.

It comprises nine properties ranging from 7,549 to 24,638 sq ft and talks over possible pre-lets are in progress.

The development will include a café, children’s nursery, and state-of-the-art gym.

Chris Kimber-Nickelson, commercial director of Silverstone Park said: “We are excited to get this latest development off the ground.

“It will provide businesses with another high quality, contemporary working environment and smart flexible space ready for a bespoke fit-out.

“We are certain that the prime location – right next to the Silverstone Circuit – will also provide a buzz for businesses and their employees.

He added: “The campus here at Silverstone Park continues to evolve to the needs of business occupiers and this latest phase of development is an opportunity to deliver a café, nursery, and gym, which we hope will enhance work-life balance for new and existing staff.

“This is in addition to the numerous break-out areas and green spaces, plus pathways and cycle routes that have already been created as part of the larger development of the Silverstone Park site.”

Performance automotive parts specialist AliTech Precision is currently finalising a contract.

Darren Cudd, managing director of AliTech, said of the signing: “We are excited to join Silverstone Park’s growing campus.

“As a hub of innovation and engineering in the UK, located adjacent to the world famous circuit, we believe this is the perfect place for AliTech to further our businesses growth and we look forward to working alongside the other global leaders already based here.”
