Four lettings have already been secured ahead of the official opening of a new commercial property development in East Dorset.

Leases have been signed by major UK brands on four units at Bedrock Park, Vulcan Way on the Ferndown Industrial Estate.

Bedrock Park, developed by Northwood Urban Logistics, comprises 26 trade counter, industrial and warehouse units.

All are available leasehold.

A consumer goods distributor is moving into Unit 13, a warehouse with first-floor offices, and a provider of energy efficient products is at Unit 16 which is a similar building.

Both total 33,244 sq ft.

Two of the 12 trade counters are also leased; Unit 5 is Careco, a nationwide mobility aids supplier, and Unit 4 is a Ducati Bournemouth store for motorcycle brand Ducati UK in collaboration with Breeze Motor Group.

The practical completion of Bedrock Park took place last month with the shell units being fitted out this month to the occupiers’ specifications.

Bryony Solan, pictured left, Surveyor and Associate at property consultancy Vail Williams, said: “With the quartet of lettings by major UK business brands, Bedrock Park has even more cause to celebrate the scheme’s official opening this Thursday, April 20.

“There is an open day for local and regional businesses from 10.30am to 3pm, with property agents having a guided tour of the scheme earlier in the day.

“Guests will be shown the latest environmentally friendly, market-leading technologies designed to address the increasing level of demand from occupiers who are seeking high-quality, sustainable accommodation for their businesses.

“Occupiers are increasingly looking to reduce occupancy costs whilst reducing their own carbon footprints through EPC ratings of A and B; Bedrock Park is designed and constructed to BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) Very Good.”

Vail Williams is joint marketing agent with DTRE and Realest on behalf of Northwood Urban Logistics.
