Trebor Developments have reached Practical Completion on the second, and final, phase at The Ridge Haverhill and have subsequently completed the final letting to TAIT Technologies Ltd. TAIT, who are a worldwide specialist in entertainment automation, stage and set manufacturing, have taken occupation of a 100,000 sq ft build to suit unit which includes manufacturing and logistics space as well as HQ offices.

Practical Completion on TAIT’s unit follows the completion and letting of two other units in Phase Two to Thule Group and a confidential manufacturer who have taken 22,670 and 47,468 sq ft respectively. Both units were developed speculatively but pre let during construction in mid-2022.

Phase 1 comprised units of 51,662 and 12,206 sq ft which completed in early 2021 and secured lettings to Comar and a confidential European logistics provider shortly after PC, having agreed terms whilst under construction.

All five units comprising a total of 233,175 sq ft are now completed and fully let, with terms and legals on all units agreed within the past 18 months. Furthermore, the scheme in its entirety has been sold as a fully let investment to a global investor as part of a wider global portfolio sale that included 5 UK assets.

Greg Dalton, Development Director for Trebor, commented: “We’re delighted to have achieved this final milestone having reached Practical Completion and letting the final unit. TAIT join a fantastic mix of regional and international occupiers on the scheme, and all their interest supports our commitment to invest in this location and create vital new space for local occupiers.”

Councillor Susan Glossop, Cabinet member for Growth, West Suffolk Council said: “We are pleased with how successful The Ridge Business Park has been; with all the units let it demonstrates the demand for business space in Haverhill. It is also excellent news that TAIT have chosen to further invest in Haverhill with their new facility. Investment from developers such as Trebor enables West Suffolk to continue to cater for growing companies within the area and attract new businesses too.”

Trebor Developments have exchanged contracts with the global sports and outdoor company Thule Group, for a pre let at Unit 2 The Ridge Haverhill. The unit comprises 22,120 sq ft and is under construction on a speculative basis, due for practical completion in June 2022 alongside a final speculative unit of 47,468 sq ft as well as the 100,060 sq ft build to suit unit for TAIT Technologies.

Greg Dalton, Development Manager for Trebor, commented: “We’re delighted to have secured yet another strong occupier at The Ridge which takes our total to four deals on site over the past 12 months at a total of 186,000 sq ft. This further pre let on Phase 2 fully supports our commitment to speculatively develop units in this location.”

Marcus Hunt, Site Manager for Thule Group, commented: “We are delighted to secure Unit 2 The Ridge to further support our growth in the UK market. This expansion will ensure we can meet growing consumer demand for our products, making it easy to live an active life”.

Trebor Developments have agreed terms with specialist optical business, Comar Optics Limited, at Unit 3 The Ridge Haverhill. The unit comprises 51,662 sq ft and was the final speculative unit available on Phase One of the scheme. Phase Two is now on site and consists of a 100,060 sq ft unit pre-let, together with two further speculative units of 22,120 sq ft and 47,468 sq ft. Both units will be available in June 2022 and have strong interest.

Greg Dalton, Development Manager for Trebor, commented: “We’re delighted to have secured another strong occupier for the scheme which fully supports our decision to speculatively develop units in a region that has long suffered from a lack of available high quality product. We hope to continue this success with Phase Two now also being on site following the pre-letting of the largest unit”.

Dougal Donald, General Manager for Comar Optics, commented: “These brand new facilities will enable us to continue our growth journey and deliver on our mission of ‘Seamless Supply’.”

Trebor Developments have started on site for Phase 2 of their successful development at The Ridge, Haverhill.

Phase Two consists of a 100,060 sq ft unit pre-let to TAIT, the largest pre let in the area in recent years, together with two further speculative units of 22,120 sq ft and 47,468 sq ft. Works on site commenced this month and units will be available for occupation in June 2022. One unit remains available as part of the first phase totalling 51,321 sq ft which provides new build industrial accommodation ready for immediate occupation, albeit with very strong interest.

Greg Dalton, Development Manager for Trebor, commented “we are delighted to be on site delivering TAIT’s new state of the art facility and at the same time constructing more units for local occupiers on a speculative basis. The commencement of Phase Two following the pre-letting of the largest unit will see further industrial units available in 2022 in an area that continues to suffer from a lack of high quality available product.”

Planning for TAIT’s bespoke unit has been secured alongside detailed consent for a 22,120 sq ft and 47,468 sq ft that will be constructed speculatively at the same time as TAIT and will form Phase Two of the site’s development.

Lee Buckingham, on behalf of TAIT commented, “this new space, [soon to be named TAIT Haverhill], allows us to expand our manufacturing and creative engineering footprint whilst offering more job opportunities to the immediate and expanded community. As we continue to advance the future of live entertainment with world-class solutions and offerings, we need to be in a space that offers the same best-in-class accommodations. This is it.”

Greg Dalton, Development Manager for Trebor, commented “we are delighted to welcome TAIT to “The Ridge” Haverhill, which we acquired in 2019. This 100,000 sq ft pre-let will be the largest of 5 units delivered on site and supports our development strategy in acquiring sites like Haverhill to provide much needed space for occupiers.”

Trebor Developments and partner, Hillwood, have agreed terms with a specialist European logistics provider for the letting of 12,206 sq ft at The Ridge following practical completion of Phase One in January 2021.

The unit will have offices installed and will be fully fitted out by the occupier to their specification. One further unit remains as part of the first phase totalling 51,321 sq ft which provides new build industrial accommodation ready for immediate occupation, albeit with very strong interest.

Phase Two consists of a 100,060 sq ft unit pre-let, together with two further speculative units of 22,120 sq ft and 47,468 sq ft, which will commence on site in September 2021 and will be available for occupation in Summer 2022.

Greg Dalton, Development Manager for Trebor, commented: “It is always good to see the first deals agreed so shortly after construction has completed and with very strong interest in the remaining existing and proposed units. The commencement of Phase Two following the pre-letting of the largest unit will see further industrial units available in 2022 in an area that continues to suffer from a lack of high quality available product.”

TAIT, a worldwide specialist in entertainment automation and stage and set manufacturing, have agreed terms with Trebor Developments/Hillwood for a pre-let of a 100,000 sq ft new manufacturing and office complex to be located at “The Ridge” development, Haverhill, Suffolk, where Trebor/Hillwood are delivering a range of 5 high quality industrial buildings.

A new planning application has been submitted for the bespoke TAIT building and following consent work will progress on site from spring 2020.

Construction is already underway on the site delivering other speculative industrial units, which will be available in a range of sizes for occupation from September 2020.

Lee Buckingham, on behalf of TAIT commented, “this new space, [soon to be named TAIT Haverhill], allows us to expand our manufacturing and creative engineering footprint whilst offering more job opportunities to the immediate and expanded community. As we continue to advance the future of live entertainment with world-class solutions and offerings, we need to be in a space that offers the same best-in-class accommodations. This is it.”

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner for Trebor, commented “we are delighted to welcome TAIT as the first occupier to “The Ridge”, Haverhill Business Park site, which we acquired in 2019.  The 100,000 sq ft pre-let building will be the largest of 5 units being delivered and with work on site progressing well, high quality units will be available for occupation in summer 2020.

Trebor Developments and partner, Hillwood, have commenced on site the 14 acre development of a 5 multi-unit industrial development at Haverhill.

McCoy Contractors Limited have been appointed as specialist groundworks contractor and will be on site until March 2020, followed by the main contractor, A&H Construction, who will implement the high quality industrial units.

Trebor and Hillwood are investing over £30 million in the site in order to deliver a range of industrial units.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner of Trebor Developments, on behalf of the partners, commented, “We are delighted to commence on site.  “The Ridge” is a very significant investment in the Eastern area, which we believe will attract a wide range of local occupiers to this premier location, which already hosts Culina Logistics and MKM Building Supplies.  The units will be the only quality new build industrial of their sizes within a 50 mile radius of Haverhill and offered at a considerable discount to rents in the Cambridge market.” 

Units will be available for occupation from Q3, 2020.

Detailed planning consent has been granted to Trebor Developments/Hillwood for a 5 unit industrial scheme at Haverhill, which will allow construction to commence in the autumn and will deliver a range of high quality, speculative, industrial units in 2020, ranging from 12,915 sq ft to 64,734 sq ft, each with secure yards and high ratios of car parking.

Trebor/Hillwood acquired the site earlier this year, with a view to proceeding with development as soon as possible, so granting of planning approval is the key milestone in achieving that objective.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner of Trebor Developments, on behalf of the parties, commented, “We are delighted to obtain planning and are now able to move forward with contractor selection and start on site.  Marketing of the development has commenced, with some strong initial interest in these sizes of units, which of new build quality are not available within a 50-mile radius and we offer at a substantial discount, compared with the Cambridge market”.

Trebor / Hillwood are represented by M1 (London) and Bidwells (locally).  Proposals are now available for occupier consideration.

Trebor Developments, working in conjunction with its partner, Hillwood, submitted a planning application at Haverhill Business Park, Suffolk, to bring forward a range of 5 industrial buildings from 12,195 sq ft to 64,734 sq ft, which will be delivered during 2019, once permission has been granted.

Units will be available to lease on competitive terms with occupation anticipated from Quarter 1, 2020. The development is being promoted as “The Ridge, Haverhill Business Park” and benefits from Outline planning consent.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner of Trebor Developments, on behalf of the parties commented, “We are excited to be in for planning to allow us to bring forward this high quality development and deliver a range of industrial units, which will suit local and regional businesses. Units will be available from early in 2020 on competitive leasehold terms, providing a significant discount to comparable accommodation in Cambridgeshire. There is very little new build product of this type being brought forward within a 40 mile radius.”
