Clowes Developments, working alongside lead contractor Roe Developments, has announced the practical completion of Plot 1 at Stud Brook Business Park.

The milestone sees the delivery of five high-specification units designed for industrial, warehouse, and trade counter use, ranging in size from 3,234 sq ft to 4,653 sq ft.

Located prominently off the Castle Donington bypass, the development is situated near East Midlands Airport and the M1. The scheme features a spacious open-plan car park equipped with EV charging points and is supported by existing on-site amenities, including a Starbucks Drive-Thru and a Sainsbury's Local.

The units have been constructed to high environmental standards, achieving a BREEAM rating of 'Very Good' and an EPC rating of 'A'. Each unit includes 10% natural rooflight panels to enhance internal lighting and is ready for the installation of photovoltaic roof panels. Technical specifications for the buildings include level-access loading doors, floor-to-ceiling double glazing, and dedicated entrances.

James Richards, Director at Clowes Developments, said: "We are proud to present these brand-new trade counter units at Stud Brook Business Park, delivering much-needed, high-quality commercial space at a time when supply of small to mid-sized units remains extremely limited across the region. Our decision to build speculatively reflects our confidence in the local market and the strategic strength of Castle Donington as a business location. With excellent transport links and strong demand from a diverse range of occupiers, we anticipate significant interest in these new units and look forward to welcoming new businesses to the park."

Tim Gilbertson, Director at FHP Property Consultants, commented on the newly completed units: "Credit again to Clowes Developments for speculatively building out top quality industrial/warehouse/trade counter space at Stud Brook Business Park, Castle Donington. The latest tranche of development sees five further units built, with sizes ranging from 3,234ft² to 4,653ft², prominently set off the Castle Donington bypass, virtually next to East Midlands Airport. With the units now ready for occupation and likely to suit a wide variety of occupiers, we are hopeful these buildings will let quickly."

Richard Sutton, of NG Chartered Surveyors, added: "The trade counter phase at Stud Brook presents a rare opportunity for businesses to secure exceptionally versatile space designed to support both operational activity and direct customer interaction from the same premises. This flexibility makes the units ideal for a wide range of occupiers, from plumbers and electrical suppliers to tool hire companies, auto parts specialists and many others. The location alone offers outstanding visibility, and each unit has been purpose-built for trade counter use, featuring high ceilings, roller shutter doors and strong signage opportunities. This 'turnkey-ready' design significantly reduces fit-out costs for incoming occupiers. Adaptability is at the heart of the scheme, these units can support pure warehouse operations, light industrial processes, showroom and storage uses, distribution and logistics, or retail trade functions, depending on a business's needs."
