Phase two at Skypark will see the construction of 36 high quality, modern business units, providing over 40,000 square feet of multi-functional commercial space.

This development is expected to support 132 construction jobs and generate over 288 highly skilled new jobs.

In keeping with Skypark’s vision of sustainability aims, the development will include solar PV, EV charging points, covered bicycle storage, and insulated panel technology, with the build meeting the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ benchmark.

The developer’s decision to proceed with Skypark came after a high level in enquiries for commercial space from the success of phase one.

Lewis Watts, sales manager at Onyx business Park, commented: “We have been encouraged by the number of enquiries we’ve received indicating positivity in the South West business market.”

Cllr Rufus Gilbert, Devon County Council's Cabinet Member for Economic Recovery and Skills, added: "This is a massive vote of confidence in our local economy and it’s extremely encouraging to see Onyx Business Parks demonstrating its commitment to economic recovery in the county.

“There’s a lack of small units in Devon so this development will help meet that demand and provide businesses, both existing and start-ups, with the opportunity to grow and bounce back from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.”
