The University of Warwick Science Park (UWSP) has appointed Carter Jonas as sole property adviser on its innovation campus, which comprises four strategic locations in the West Midlands.
The University of Warwick Science Park campus, the Business Innovation Centre in Binley, Warwick Innovation Centre in Warwick and Blythe Valley Innovation Centre in Solihull, offer more than 280,000 sq ft of lab, office and workshop space.
Matt Lee, head of science and technology at Carter Jonas, said: “We are excited to be working closely with the University of Warwick Science Park and local and national stakeholders to promote this innovative campus and contribute to the growth of its community. The park’s strong connection to the university offers current and potential occupants the opportunity to engage in collaboration, joint research, and access to a skilled talent pool. These benefits are complemented by a well-established events programme, which hosted 100 events in the last financial period, engaging with 739 businesses.
“There are opportunities for new knowledge-intensive companies to join the existing cluster in both current and future specialist development projects. Our team is well-equipped to bring additional value to this dynamic site. With a strong regional network of offices and a specialised science and technology team, we have the national reach and exposure to generate further interest and drive the expansion of UWSP.”
Mark Tock, chief operating officer at the University of Warwick Science Park, added: “We are delighted to partner with Carter Jonas in taking our property and developments to market as we strive to achieve our ambitious 2030 Strategy and beyond. At a pivotal point in our 40-year journey, it was important that we appointed the right partners. The combination of proven national, regional, and in particular life science expertise they bring will be an asset as we fill, build, and refurbish the UWSP portfolio to support growth of our innovation community across the West Midlands.”
