Located 45min from London and the same distance from the south coast ports, Basingstoke is the largest Hampshire town and home to big brands like Sony, Vitacress, Fujitsu, Eli Lilly and Company, The AA and Lavazza. It is a productive place, rating in the UK’s top 6% for Gross Value Added (GVA) per hour worked, and also a happy one – rating in the top 5% for happiness amongst local authorities in the UK.

There is a growing momentum to Basingstoke’s success story. The redevelopment of Viables Business Park made way for St. Modwen Park, a new 11.3-acre site that attracted £18.1 million investment to build 190,000 sq ft of manufacturing space for LevertonHELM. £30 million was invested by new owners Longstock Capital to breathe new life into Mountbatten House on Basing View and Arena Business Centres recently opened its second location in the area.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, a major landowner in the area, has announced new town centre and leisure park masterplans and negotiations are currently underway with Great Wolf Resorts on a proposed 500-bedroom hotel, an indoor water park and conference facilities. They are looking for potential partners who are interested in bringing new masterplans to life, including leisure and higher education providers.

Speak to the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council team at stand C54 in New Dock Hall about a variety of available town centre locations, from existing buildings and development sites to mixed-use and re-development opportunities.

The time to invest in Basingstoke is now.
