Bicester Arc: One of the UK’s Premier Sites for Cutting-Edge Offices and Manufacturing Excellence

The developers of Bicester Arc, a cutting-edge 48-acre commercial business park near Oxford, are on track to deliver ground-breaking infrastructure that will power state-of-the-art, bespoke facilities, providing unprecedented opportunities for occupiers.

“Bicester Arc offers a dedicated power supply of 13.7MVA, giving the site a significant competitive edge in the market. Combined with an excellent local workforce and housing supply, Bicester Arc is primed to deliver bespoke facilities for businesses seeking flexible, hybrid operational solutions,” states Rachel Wood, managing director at property developer Sladen Estates.

Designed to meet the growing demand for flexible business space, the park offers buildings ranging from 10,000 to 600,000 sq. ft in a highly accessible location. The development is ideal for businesses of all sizes, with the capacity to accommodate a wide range of operational needs.

"We can accommodate everything from pure office buildings to hybrid mixed-use facilities, which are essential for modern businesses. The regional ecosystem has evolved, with numerous thriving clusters, each requiring its own unique operational space.

Quality jobs are no longer confined to traditional office spaces but can be found across various types of buildings throughout the region. We see Bicester Arc as the premier location where companies can establish a purpose-built HQ or hybrid facility," added Wood.

Situated in a high-growth area, Bicester Arc is attracting leading organisations in innovation, advanced engineering, deep tech, and new technologies.

Its prime location near Bicester Village retail park offers exceptional connectivity, with Oxford just 14 minutes away by train, London Marylebone reachable in 46 minutes, and Junction 9 of the M40 only a two-minute drive, ensuring seamless links to London, Birmingham, and beyond. 

This strategic positioning, combined with growing demand, is why White Commercial, with its expertise and strong ties to the automotive and technology sectors, has been appointed to enhance the team.

Bicester Arc has secured three major planning permissions so far, offering more than 600,000 sq. ft of flexible commercial space. This includes detailed permission for a 62,000 sq. ft headquarters office/laboratory building and 100,000 sq. ft across two office and research and development buildings.

The sustainable buildings will be set within beautifully landscaped plots, with access to an exclusive 15-acre eco-park for occupiers. The eco-park will feature biodiversity-rich environments and walking routes, offering a serene and tranquil space for work. 

Ralph Jones, managing director at Peveril Securities, the property development division of Bowmer + Kirkland Limited, added: “Bicester Arc presents an exciting opportunity for Oxfordshire’s business community and will appeal to a national and global market due to its excellent location, robust infrastructure, green surroundings and flexibility.

We are ready to deliver a high-quality development that meets the needs of modern businesses. Our focus is on providing a space where companies can thrive, with the assurance that the development is fully equipped to support their ambitions from day one.”

Situated in one of the UK’s most economically vibrant regions, Bicester Arc is positioned in a location renowned for research and innovation. Bicester itself is experiencing rapid growth, with its population projected to reach 50,000 by 2031, supported by 10,000 new homes and a highly-skilled local workforce.

The development is a joint venture between Peveril Securities Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bowmer & Kirkland, one of the UK’s most successful privately owned construction companies, and Sladen Estates Limited, a financially robust partner with a proven track record of delivering high-quality schemes across the country. Bowmer & Kirkland will handle all construction work and combined with a first-class design team, ensures an exceptional delivery experience.

The scheme has also retained CBRE, White Commercial, and Knight Frank as letting agents. For more information visit Bicester Arc.
