The deal comes shortly after unit 12, the largest unit on the estate, went under offer to a sustainable development group on confidential terms.
Formula One Autocentres will take unit 4 (4,844 sq. ft) on completion, adding to their growing portfolio of over 130 UK branches. The company have gone from strength to strength, with over 800 highly trained staff, making it one of the UK’s largest independent autocentre chains.
Northwood purchased the 4.1-acre site from Chancerygate in 2021, to develop the 15-unit industrial scheme. The development, which boasts green credentials and road prominence, is due to complete in February 2022.
Nick Turner, Executive Director at Northwood Investors LLC commented: “It’s great to announce our first pre-let at Tonbridge Trade Park to Formula One Autocentre. The letting at unit 4, in conjunction with the strong interest in unit 12, demonstrates the level of demand at this early stage of development from businesses seeking high quality space.”
