A new lab development in Oxford has achieved a UK first by scoring 100 per cent in its final BREEAM certification.
Wrenbridge and Buccleuch Property, which have completed the 43,745 sq ft Nova scheme in Oxford, have now achieved both EPC A+ and BREEAM Outstanding on the scheme which was sold on a forward commitment basis to IM Properties last year.
The joint developers had previously acquired the former gas holder site from SGN and began construction a year ago.
Alistair Dunsdon, director of Wrenbridge, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have turned our ambitious vision into a reality, through this landmark development. To be recognised as the first ever scheme to achieve a 100 per cent BREEAM certificate is remarkable and something we are extremely proud of.
“This achievement was made possible by the innovation, commitment and collaboration with our trusted partners Buccleuch, our BREEAM consultant, Eight Versa, our main contractor Parkway and the whole design team, they have all been sensational.”
James Feltham, fellow director of Wrenbridge, said: “We are constantly pushing ourselves to provide the best possible buildings to suit occupiers’ requirements with a keen focus on sustainability, this achievement is testament to that. We hope that this sets the benchmark going forward and that we can continue to improve our product along with our trusted and valued design team and contractors.”
Agents acting on Nova, available for immediate occupation, include Carter Jonas and Colliers International.
