Warrington Business Park Marks 25th Anniversary by Celebrating Best Ever Year for Lettings
The Park also saw a retention rate above 90% for the seventh time in nine years.
The Park’s success also coincided with a major milestone, as Birchwood Park celebrated its 25th anniversary. 25 years ago, following the sale of Birchwood Technology Park (then owned by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority), Birchwood Park was created and the journey of growth with new occupiers and nuclear businesses began.
In May of last year, Birchwood Park completed the £16million 3rd phase of the Cavendish Warehouse scheme, which occupies 153,500 sq. ft of warehouse space on the park. All units were fully let on completion.
