Hamilton International Park announces £104 million expansion plans

Hamilton International Park, one of Scotland’s most sought-after business locations, has announced plans to invest £104m in the next phase of its development.

A further 319,000 sq ft of high quality office accommodation will be built over the next three to four years by joint development partners HF Developments and AWG Property Limited, creating in excess of 2,500 jobs for the surrounding area.

Located in the heart of central Scotland, approximately 13 miles south east of Glasgow city centre, Hamilton International Park provides modern and flexible office accommodation, to local, regional and International businesses.

Over one million people live within a 15 mile radius of Hamilton International Park, providing access to a readily available and high quality workforce and the construction of over 1,000 new homes by Bryant homes further indicates the levels of growth and investment the area is experiencing.

The park already contains six office pavilions totalling some 260,000 sq ft, with a development value in excess of £74 million. Current tenants include HSBC, ICM, T-Mobile, Scottish & Universal and First Engineering Group Limited have chosen to relocate from Glasgow and base their new Scottish headquarters at the park, due to the excellent location and amenities.

The next phase of development will also see the development of a 13,784 sq ft retail hub, providing a wide range of leisure and retail facilities to both business park occupiers as well as the local community.

To date, the park has created over 3,500 jobs and this is set to increase with the ongoing development plans. The flexible office space enables companies to grow and expand, sourcing the best possible staff from the surrounding area.

William Hill, managing director of HF Developments, said: “The expansion of Hamilton International Park is testament to the success and the ongoing need for high quality office space within an attractive environment.

“We have experienced significant growth over the last year and recent lettings to the likes of First Engineering, ICM and Scottish Power demonstrate the attraction of the park to major employers seeking top quality office accommodation to the highest specifications. We look forward to this success continuing in the future following this significant investment in further space.”

Stephen Kelly, director of AWG Property, added: “The expansion of the park will provide substantial business opportunities for Scottish companies looking to grow and expand, as well as national and international businesses looking to gain a greater foothold in the West of Scotland market.

“The ongoing development will create thousands of jobs for the surrounding area, demonstrating our commitment to making Hamilton International Park Scotland’s premier business venue.”
