MORE than 1,000 jobs are set to be created on completion of a new commercial quarter, part of a huge regeneration project.
Work has begun on 2 Brunel Place, Slough, an office-led regeneration project by U+I which will transform a key site adjacent to Slough railway and bus station into a new commercial hub for the town and is part of the wider £450 million Heart of Slough regeneration project set to be completed in 2018.
Brunel Place has been designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating and includes a double-height entrance foyer, shower and changing facilities, secure car parking and sustainable features including green roofs and rainwater harvesting.
Simon Hesketh, development director at U+I, said: “The development will breathe life into a currently derelict site, delivering high quality new offices to a location that already benefits from fantastic connectivity, and helping to further establish Slough as one of the most productive towns in the UK.”
Ruth Bagley, chief executive of Slough Borough Council said: “This is a high profile town centre location with a lot to offer businesses, and the development will add to the stock of high quality office space at a time when business growth and inward investment in Slough is on the increase.”
