Michael Eyres at Artisan Developments, said: “This is the first development of its kind in the area and represents a rare opportunity to buy freehold business units for B1 planning class use. It is really important for us to increase the availability of commercial properties like this as demand increases across the region. Since 1999, we have built a range of developments, and with Assetz Capital’s funding, we have been able to continue our remit to aid the region’s economy.”
Artisan Developments main activity is in the East of England and has over 25 years’ experience in commercial property.
There are eight other companies under the Artisan Group which vary from commercial, residential investment and development organisations.
Since its establishment in 2013 Assetz Capital has lent over £910m to UK SMEs, funding projects like commercial properties, housing developments, care homes and purpose built student accommodation.
