The changing shape of Greater Cambridge’s new industry

Written by

A rigorous discussion about the scale, nature & regional reach of Cambridge’s industrial future was at the centre of seminar discussions at Fitzwilliam College earlier this week.

Organised by the Cambridgeshire Development Forum with Endurance Estates, over 60 professionals from the private & public sector came together to consider the future industrial profile of the area.

Eddisons’ Ben Green was one of the members of the panel sharing on-the-ground experiences and answering questions from the audience.

From the presentation & subsequent Q&A session, it became clear that there were fundamental barriers to future and, indeed, current development in the industrial sector.

Poor transport & utility infrastructure capacity, combined with local land use allocations based on an outdated perception of ‘industrial’ operations are contributing to significant suppressed demand in the sector which has built up during the past decade.

What also needs to be addressed is the redefinition of ‘Greater Cambridge’ beyond the limits of its historical geographical boundaries.

As Lord Andrew Lansley, Chairman of Cambridgeshire Development Forum, pointed out to all in the room, the formation of the Government-backed Cambridge Delivery Group – announced in the summer by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities – provides a vehicle for commercial interests & local policy makers to help shape the new industrial profile of the regional economy.

Gym is where the heart is for new Trinity Hall tenant

Written by

Creating a martial arts gym with family and community at its heart is the aim of the latest occupier at Trinity Hall Industrial Estate.

The unit on Nuffield Road in Cambridge, according to Eddisons, whose local agency was under instruction on behalf of the landlord, is almost good to go.

Founded by trained & qualified instructor, Amin Sharifi, Amin Martial Arts, has taken a three year lease on a 2,174 sq ft (202 sq m) business premises at Unit B on the estate which is being fitted out ahead of opening this autumn as a dedicated martial arts gym.

Unit B was the smallest in the latest phase of four units let by the agents.

The latest occupier began a search for premises last year and, in ruling out a number of units out of Cambridge, decided on Unit B in preference to another unit in the city due to its convenient location and accessibility.

According to Amin Sharifi, Amin Martial Arts will be one of its kind in Cambridge with multiple classes running across the day and sessions tailored for children, teenagers & adults.

With a vision to foster an inclusive feel to the training sessions, where parents & guardians are as welcome as the children & teenagers, as opposed to just a ‘drop off & pick up’ routine, the fit out specification includes a sitting & viewing area and high quality food & beverage vending machines.

Facilities will include showers & changing rooms in appealing to clients looking for pre-work & lunchtime training sessions.

This is Amin Sharifi’s first solo venture and he will be looking to recruit additional, qualified trainers once the gym is up and running.

Announcing the letting of Unit B to Amin Martial Arts, Eddisons’ Joe Berry said, “Amin starts with a well located and solid premises at Trinity Hall Industrial Estate on which he can overlay his vision for a special kind of martial arts gym in the city.

“The estate is a bit of a hidden gem unless you are familiar with the area.

“It bridges the gap between the Science Park and Cambridge North Railway Station employment areas and the residential neighbourhoods of Chesterton while being accessible from the A14 at the Milton interchange too.”

Studio-style office to let in Cambridge ‘boho’ district

The 875 sq ft (81 sq m) self-contained business premises are at 13-15 Covent Garden, off the city’s Mill Road and close to the historic city centre.

Available on flexible lease terms, the two storey offices have a brand new fit out across the accommodation which includes an open plan office for a maximum of 12 work stations, a meeting room, a breakout space & kitchen.

While self-contained, there is access to courtyard space and bike storage which is shared with the architectural practice who occupies the neighbouring office.

The Mill Road area, close to Cambridge’s main railway station, is a vibrant commercial & residential neighbourhood in the city.

It has an eclectic mix of retail operators, including independent cafés & restaurants as well as more established trading names.

Streets off Mill Road, such as Covent Garden, host a number of office, workshop & studio businesses in a range of premises often in properties converted from either previous industrial uses associated with the railway works or residential use.

Commenting on this latest office instruction, Joe Berry of Eddisons’ Cambridge office, said, “This is a one-off property which is likely to suit a new or growing business in the creative or associated industries.
