Practical completion has been achieved at Hampton Brook’s Shenley Wood development in Milton Keynes, headlined by the pre-let of a new bespoke headquarters facility to Routeco.
The leading industrial automation and control distributor has committed to a 73,063 sq ft building at the scheme, located just off H6 Childs Way, marking a significant investment in its future and a major endorsement of the development. Founded in Milton Keynes in the late 1970s, Routeco will relocate from its existing premises in Knowlhill to the new purpose-built facility, enabling the business to expand while remaining within the city.
The pre-let to Routeco has been a defining feature of the scheme, shaping the design and delivery of Unit 1 to meet the company’s specific operational and growth requirements. The building has been delivered to a BREEAM Excellent standard and EPC A + and will serve as Routeco Group’s new UK headquarters.
Dave Amps, Managing Director of Routeco, said: “We are delighted to have worked with Hampton Brook to design and deliver a bespoke facility for our new headquarters. This investment supports our continued growth and strengthens our long-term commitment to Milton Keynes.”
Eamon Kennedy, Partner at BTG Eddisons, who acted for Routeco, added: “Having advised Routeco over a number of years in its search for a new headquarters, we are pleased to see the company secure a high-quality, future-proofed facility that supports its ongoing expansion.”
Hampton Brook’s 145,412 sq ft Shenley Wood scheme, was a joint venture with NFU Mutual. The land was acquired from Milton Keynes Development Partnership (MKDP) and comprises of two high-quality industrial and logistics units. Alongside the Routeco headquarters, a second unit of 72,349 sq ft is available and has already attracted strong interest from occupiers.
Ian Jackson, a Director at Hampton Brook, commented: “Securing Routeco on a pre-let basis has been central to the success of this development. It demonstrates both the strength of demand for high-quality, sustainable space and the importance of delivering tailored solutions for growing businesses. We are proud to have supported Routeco in delivering its new headquarters in Milton Keynes.”
