A Look Back
The evolving face of Slough's Bath Road is changing bit by bit. As occupiers like O2, Lonza and Stanley Black & Decker plot their departure, so determine the future of Bath Road as a data centre and industrial cluster.
27,000 sq ft of the Porter Building is now available in a property that has been one of the most successful Slough developments in the last 20 years. The next chapter for this building will be delivered to the market in 2023 by Spelthorne Council.
With the Elizabeth Line fully operational, Slough's connection to Paddington and central London should put it in a strong position to pick up a wider demand pool.
Kennedy Wilson has secured Pet Plan Allianz and Continental Tyres in 20,000 sq ft in Botanica, Ditton Park. These occupiers add to the tenant lineup alongside Arvato, Groupe SEB and DX.
A Look Forward
The Slough office supply will polarise around the train station and the town centre. The Porter Building and FutureWorks will monopolise any Slough-focused demand.
In the OOT market, Kennedy Wilson looks set to add to their successes in 2023 at Botanica, Ditton Park. The offer of an amenity-rich building with plenty of car parking in an ESG-friendly landscaped environment will continue to prove appealing to occupiers.
A significant part of Slough's town centre regeneration will come via the mixed-use redevelopment of the Queensmere Shopping Centre and the North West Quadrant. Both will offer significant residential development with a mix of office, retail and leisure surrounding. Will the Slough market see these break ground in 2023?
