Case Study
Arlington Business Park
Crown secured the Cat A+ refurbishment projects through a single-stage design and build tender process at a prominent lakeside business park adjacent to the M4 near Reading. Appointed by the client and business park owner, a Far Eastern wealth fund, the brief was to reposition the estate with high-quality, future-ready office accommodation that would appeal to a modern occupier market.
Let’s discuss your requirements.
The client’s ambition was to create contemporary office environments that actively promote wellbeing, flexibility and ease of occupation. The spaces needed to reflect Grade A standards while remaining commercially attractive, setting a clear benchmark for quality across the wider business park and establishing a blueprint for future refurbishment and fit-out projects.
Crown’s scope of works included the sub-division of large floor plates to create a series of smaller, highly adaptable office suites ranging from approximately 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft. Each suite was carefully designed and fitted out to a mix of full Plug-and-Play and Cat A+ specifications, allowing incoming tenants to occupy immediately or tailor the space to suit their operational needs.
Since completion, the refurbished offices have significantly increased interest across the park, with a marked rise in viewings and enquiries. This renewed momentum has translated into successful lettings, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Cat A+ approach and reinforcing the scheme’s role as a benchmark for future developments across the estate.
