The Research Quarter at Cambourne
Business Park is set to be the most exciting
development in Cambridge for many years.
A sense of place
The growing town of Cambourne, 9 miles west of Cambridge, of
which The Research Quarter forms an integral part, will eventually
become home to around 10,000 people. Already it provides
residents with a range of amenities including a primary school, day
care nursery and doctor’s surgery. Work is underway on the first
phase of town centre shops with the new 4,000 sq m Morrisons
supermarket and a new four star 150 bed hotel with a health and
fitness centre due to open in Winter 2003.
Residents and business park occupiers alike will benefit from a
range of other leisure facilities including an 18 hole golf course,
pubs and restaurants and a planned major sports centre.

Set in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside, Cambourne is enhanced
by a series of environmental projects that include an 80 acre country park,
an Eco-park, and wetlands and marshes designed to attract and protect
local wildlife.
Cambourne Business Park
Cambourne Business Park comprises a 50 acre development at the entrance
to Cambourne. Though only launched in 1999, the first two phases, totalling
some 25,000 sq m are already complete and a new 5,500 sq m facility for
South Cambridgeshire District Council is underway. Cambourne Business
Park tenants include Regus, Convergys, Centrix Systems and
Campbell Soups.
Planning
Cambourne’s ‘open’ B1 planning permission gives leading R&D and office
occupiers the opportunity to acquire the quality and scale of space they need
in an attractive working and living environment close to Cambridge.
