The Arc's Attraction for Hillington

A distinctive and attractive development of seven single-storey office suites has just been completed at Hillington Park, demonstrating MEPC’s confidence by providing quality accommodation during a difficult time in the market.

The Arc, a £4 million development by MEPC, the majority landowners at Scotland’s largest business location to the west of Glasgow, is a curved terrace of office accommodation on one level, ranging from 228 square metres (2,458 square feet) to 357 sq m (3,851 sq ft).

The scheme was designed to take advantage of a unique semi-circular site on the east side of Hillington Park, and is expected to appeal to small to medium-sized businesses seeking high-quality, good-value, out-of-town accommodation. Rental charges have been pitched at a level to appeal to the local market and are in the range of £16 per sq ft per annum.

Viewings so far have been very positive. Grant Edmondson, managing director of MEPC Hillington Park, said: "We persisted with this development at a time when we knew that the office market was cooling. But we have very little other office space available and, even although business conditions are tough, we expect to attract lettings.

"We are committed to providing office space of a price and quality at the Park which the occupier market demands. We expect The Arc to continue our long-held experience that, with the right range of accommodation and a flexible customer-focused approach, MEPC can retain growing businesses at Hillington Park over the long term."

The Arc is located in what has become an established office area of the estate: adjacent to Centura Court, which is home to Ceridian, British Red Cross and Fujitsu, and close to the Hillington Park Innovation Centre and the Lumina building, which was let to Balfour Kilpatrick last year.

The development has been built to a sustainable specification and has achieved a ‘Very Good’ BREEAM rating, offering a single, space-efficient floorplate. Each office enables occupiers to have full control over their premises, with dedicated main door entry and reception, together with the ability to erect their own external corporate signage.

The letting agents on Hillington Park offices are Ryden and Cushman & Wakefield.
