HBD announces new JV targeting UK tech sector
Henry Boot's property development business, HBD, and
international tech campus developer, Factory, are to form a new
joint venture, HBD X Factory, targeting the UK tech sector.
HBD X Factory has been selected as preferred bidder to deliver
45-ha at Cheltenham Borough Council's Golden Valley
Development.
The Golden Valley Development covers 200-acres and is expected
to create 12,000 new jobs, 3,700 new homes and 2million sq. ft. of
commercial space, with Cyber Central UK at the heart of a visionary
integrated campus focused on cyber and digital innovation.
The project builds on the presence of GCHQ's headquarters and
Cheltenham's existing cyber sector, with the first phase delivering
an innovative, mixed use community clustered around Factory's first
project of scale in the UK - Factory Cheltenham - which will sit
alongside GCHQ.
HBD X Factory will continue to explore new opportunities across
the UK, including acquisitions and public/private partnerships with
local authorities and other strategic landowners, as it targets
large-scale, mixed-use districts and urban regeneration projects
with a focus on innovation.
Ed Hutchinson, Managing Director of HBD, said: "The HBD X
Factory partnership reflects our focus on delivering large-scale,
transformative regeneration projects - the Golden Valley
Development is a hugely important project for Cheltenham, the South
West region and the wider UK tech sector and we look forward to
working alongside Factory to bring the scheme forward."
