Commercial real estate company Newmark flagged the opportunity to attract advanced manufacturing, engineering and high-tech occupiers from across the UK and overseas.
It highlighted this potential as its appointment as joint sale and letting agent for the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) in Renfrewshire was revealed.
AMIDS forms part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal and is being delivered by AMIDS (Renfrewshire) LLP, a joint venture between Renfrewshire Council and Buccleuch Property.
US-based Newmark, which has embarked on a significant expansion in Scotland, described AMIDS as “one of Scotland’s most significant initiatives for innovation-led economic growth”.
It added: “The development is expected to support thousands of jobs, attract new investment and drive sustainable economic growth.
“Located adjacent to Glasgow Airport, the 52-hectare district offers high-quality development plots and flexible commercial space intended to attract advanced manufacturing, engineering and high-tech occupiers from across the UK and overseas. It is also anchored by strong transport links and world-class facilities, including the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland.”
Newmark said it will “market and promote a range of development and occupational opportunities across the district, targeting occupiers and investors seeking to benefit from AMIDS’ strategic location and established innovation ecosystem”.
Josh Thomas, development manager at AMIDS (Renfrewshire) LLP, said: “AMIDS is a long-term partnership to deliver sustainable growth for Renfrewshire and the wider Glasgow City Region. Newmark’s expertise will help turn that vision into new occupiers, new investment and tangible benefits for local people and businesses.”
Paul Broad, partner at Newmark, said: “Being appointed as both sale and letting agent for AMIDS enables Newmark to take a comprehensive approach to the occupier strategy in the interest of the client.
“The scale of this flagship development makes it one of the most important for Scotland’s advanced manufacturing sector, and the district gives occupiers the chance to sit alongside leading research institutions, a skilled workforce and established supply chains in a highly connected location. Interest from prospective tenants is already building.”
Mr Broad was appointed by Newmark in the spring to lead its national offices team in Glasgow.
The commercial real estate company declared last month that the appointment of Mr Broad, who joined from Avison Young where he was managing director of the UK national offices team, further strengthens its leasing and development advisory capability for office occupiers, investors and developers across Scotland.
