Work has begun on RO Real
Estate’s speculative development of Dakota at Brooklands in Weybridge. RO Real
Estate will deliver a self-contained Grade A statement office comprising 35,582
sq ft. Dakota will be prominently situated at the entrance of the business park
which has attracted a number of high profile occupiers including LG, Sony
Europe, Samsung, JTI UK, Daikin, Regus, Proctor & Gamble and Mercedes Benz.
Upon completion, which is
scheduled for March 2017, Dakota will offer four floors of high quality modern
office space, with the largest floorplates extending to 11,200 sq ft. Future occupiers will also benefit from the
122 dedicated car parking spaces, 30 cycle spaces and 8 shower facilities that
the building will offer.
Richard Bourne, head of RO Real
Estate said: “It’s proximity to both road and rail means that Dakota is well
positioned to offer unrivalled connectivity to both London and the wider south
east. The location combined with the
high specification of the offices and the car parking provision positions
Dakota to capitalise on occupiers’ needs for quality space and multi-modal
transport options.”
Rhodri Shaw, partner in national
markets office agency at Strutt & Parker, leasing agents on Dakota, said:
“Weybridge outperformed most of its Surrey neighbours in 2015 in terms of
take-up and demand for space continues. Rents in the town have surpassed their
pre-recession high and record rents now stand at £36.00 per sq ft, illustrating
Weybridge’s appeal to occupiers. Dakota’s ability to offer self-contained Grade
A space within an established business park will ensure that it has
far-reaching appeal to occupiers.”
Strutt & Parker and New
Ballerino have been appointed as joint agents at Dakota.
