Galliford Try reaches close on landmark MK office development

Galliford Try Construction announces that its Building East Midlands business has reached financial close on a £28m office development in Milton Keynes, with developer AW James.

The new scheme at 100 Avebury Boulevard represents a high-quality addition to the Milton Keynes office market and will offer 140,000 sqft of Category A accommodation over eight floors, as well as additional retail space.

The striking new building will have a feature 10m-high reception area and large floorplates between 10,000 and 24,000 sqft, providing the necessary space required by blue chip clients. The site will also incorporate a landscaped garden and public plaza to the front of the new building.

Andrew Wilson, Managing Director of AW James, said: “AW James are very proud of 100 Avebury’s design. Both our architects and Galliford Try have been putting a great deal of effort into creating a really impressive and sustainable building that will enhance the local landscape and provide plenty of opportunity for companies that are thinking about moving to a great new location, that is so well connected.”

Our business has a strong track record in producing high-quality office accommodation within the region and we look forward to working with AW James and the stakeholders involved to create a new landmark for Milton Keynes.”
