Enviro21 sustainable business park gains first occupier

The South Queensway Enviro21 Park—a new sustainable business park in Hastings—has its first occupier. Two business units have been leased by Poppypac Ltd, the expanding, environmentally-conscious contract manufacturer for the health and beauty industry.

The South Queensway Enviro21 Park is being developed by Coastal Innovation Ltd, a joint venture between Sea Space and The Land Group. The company recently completed the Park’s first four business units, comprising production space with integral offices, with more set to follow. It has also created The Sussex Exchange on-site as an environmentally-friendly conference centre and restaurant.

Poppypac’s business units total 1,174m2 (12,628 sq ft) in floor space and accommodate the company’s expansion plans. Two units are still available to let, each with floor space of 1,023m2 (11,009 sq ft).

Louise Deering, Director at Poppypac, comments “We’re delighted to move to these units, which mean Poppypac will now be future-proof for the next 10 years. The Enviro 21 scheme mirrors our vision for low-carbon business and we’re excited to be in at the start. We’re now able to offer our health and beauty clients a unique selling point by developing products on a state-of-the-art, forward-looking business park”.

The Enviro21 business units incorporate a host of sustainable features including high thermal insulation, natural ventilation, optimisation of daylight and brown roofs. Biomass heating is offered as an option and, where installed, the units are independently forecast to emit 42% less CO2 than typical premises of their size.

Letting details about units still available on the Park, including those to be developed in the next phase, can be obtained from joint agents DTZ (tel: 020 3296 2137), Cluttons (01273 738383) and Dyer Commercial (01424 423 626).
