Following the pre-let of phase one to B&Q, phase two of the development at Interchange Park saw M&S Simply Food take a 15-year lease of a 16,000 sq ft building with associated car parking.
The remainder of the park was pre-let to multi-brand car dealership Motorvogue who entered into a 20-year lease on a new showroom of 11,000 sq ft and an external display area for 120 cars. To the rear of the Motorvogue showroom is a vehicle preparation and servicing centre of 6,000 sq ft. Costa Coffee completed the line up by agreeing to a 15-year lease for a drive-thru unit of 1,851 sq ft GIA plus an external seating area and car parking.
This is the second drive-thru unit in Bedford constructed by Howard Group, coming approximately 12 months after the successful delivery of a drive-thru unit on St John's Retail Park which was also constructed by RG Carter.
