Cambridge Office to Rent

Old Swiss is the reimagination of the Swiss Laundry warehouses and tannery into 50,000 square feet of superbly designed, state-of-the-art, sophisticated tech and office space in CB1. A landmark in Cambridge South for over a century, Old Swiss has been lovingly revived by a local team of designers, fusing the classic red brickwork with the best contemporary materials. The upgrade included the addition of mezzanine floors to increase the overall floor area of the buildings and provide characterful light-filled office accommodation within the existing use class. Consideration was also given to enhancing the thermal envelope and replacing roofs and glazing, adding significant natural light and value to the spaces. The spaces are complete to a CAT A open plan fit out, ready for an occupier to personalise and enjoy. The campus features outdoor seating and offers pedestrian access across the site and vehicular access to the on-site car park. Building A houses a café amenity for the site, confirmed to be Stir (coming soon), characterised by its front elevation with a large zinc-covered sawtooth roofline. The surrounding area boasts cafés, restaurants, and sports and entertainment venues. The development is located on one of Cambridge's main arterial roads, Cherry Hinton Road, offering excellent accessibility to the site from the surrounding area. Nearby Cambridge Railway Station is located just a 15-minute walk away, offering frequent services into London and other nearby cities.

Cambridge Industrial to Rent - Bar Hill

KEY FEATURES • Modern steel portal frame warehouse / workshop unit • Total gross internal area of 2,099 sq ft (195.0 sq m) • Fitted ground floor office, WC and kitchen • Mezzanine storage of 527 sq ft (49.0 sq m) • Electric roller shutter loading door • 4 dedicated parking spaces • Three-phase electricity • Established commercial estate approximately 12 miles west of Cambridge • Set to benefit directly from the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet upgrade, opening from spring 2027 LOCATION The property occupies an established position on Papworth Business Park, a well-let commercial estate on the edge of Papworth Everard, approximately 12 miles west of Cambridge city centre. The estate is accessed via Stirling Way off Ermine Street South (A1198), which connects directly to the A428 at Caxton Gibbet some three miles to the south. Neighbouring occupiers include Cook 4U, Papworth Furniture and Supply Plus. The village provides a good range of amenities within walking distance, including shops, cafés, restaurants and professional services, together with a substantial and growing local residential population — a useful labour catchment for occupiers. COMMUNICATIONS AND THE A428 UPGRADE The property already enjoys good strategic access, with the A14, A1 and M11 all within convenient reach and Cambridge, St Neots and Huntingdon each within approximately 12 miles. Transport links will improve materially over the course of any new lease. National Highways’ A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvement scheme is currently under construction and will deliver a new ten-mile dual carriageway between the Black Cat junction on the A1 in Bedfordshire and the Caxton Gibbet junction, approximately three miles south of the property. The majority of the scheme — including the fully upgraded Caxton Gibbet junction, the new flyover at Black Cat and new dual carriageway access at the Cambridge Road junction — is programmed to open in spring 2027, with the final element, the new A1 underpass at Black Cat, following in mid-summer 2027. On completion, occupiers at Papworth will gain continuous dual carriageway access westbound to the A1, Bedford, Milton Keynes and the M1, removing the existing single-carriageway constraint and improving journey times to the Midlands and the wider national network. The scheme is funded, under construction and has published opening dates — a material improvement in connectivity arriving within the term of a typical lease. DESCRIPTION The unit is of steel portal frame construction with part brick elevations beneath insulated profile steel cladding. Internally it provides a clear warehouse / workshop area served by an electric sectional loading door, together with a fitted office at ground floor level with mezzanine storage over.
