11.05.07 Business Centre is an off plan hit!
The new £8.8m Milton Keynes Business Centre has signed up its first tenant in record time, with property specialist Total Lettings reserving a unit eight months before the Centre is due to open its doors.CEC Operations Director David Clapham said the early reservation underlined the great potential of Milton Keynes Business Centre and confirmed that since groundbreaking in February there had been a very high level of interest in the development.
He said: It is quite usual for us to sell off plan at our new Centres but reservations are usually made two or three months before opening. We were delighted to see the level of interest at Milton Keynes and the early reservation confirms the demand for high quality business space.
Total Lettings Partner Robin West said that the combination of new purpose built offices, state of the art communications and the flexibility to take additional business space as needed had proved very attractive.
He said: Total Lettings is a company committed to growth and we wanted to make sure we had the right base for the next stage in our development. We are taking a long term view and we know that waiting a few months to move into exactly the right offices will pay dividends.
As a property letting company ourselves we were impressed by the quality of the overall package offered by CEC. Our strength as a business is attention to detail and we saw the same approach taken by CEC.
