Essex commercial property market
The buoyant commercial property sector in Essex has seen Fenn Wright successfully completing on a number of high-profile sales and lettings in Colchester and surrounding areas in recent months. With excellent network rail links, motorways and ports, as well as proximity to London, Essex has the leading edge when it comes to location and make it particularly attractive to businesses.
Phase 2 available to let at Apex 12, Ardleigh
Conveniently located directly adjacent to the A12/A120 interchange, Apex 12 is a prestigious office development set in self-contained, landscaped grounds in Ardleigh.
Three of the existing office spaces are occupied, but two new high spec buildings of up to 12,000 sq ft are due to be available soon when Phase 2 of the development is completed.
These high-quality offices come with generous on-site parking and come fitted out to a high standard with double-glazed aluminium powder-coated windows and doors, suspended ceilings with LED lighting and all fully heated/air conditioned. The buildings also come with full access raised floors and passenger lifts where required. The site is covered by CCTV security cameras and access is controlled to the site via automatic security bollards.
Being located close to the A12 provides the offices with excellent transport links as well as links to Stansted Airport and the ports of Harwich and Felixstowe. Colchester town centre and mainline railway station are only 3.5 miles away, providing a direct regular service into London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes.
Jeremy Newman, Partner at Fenn Wright’s Colchester Business Park office said, “We are pleased to have been appointed sole letting agents for this high specification office development. With offices ranging from 1,400 to 20,000 sq ft, the building lends itself to flexibility as it is possible to combine spaces and vary the layout. The offices are due to be ready for occupation in early 2021, with rents, terms and detailed specifications upon application.”
