-
The brand new building at the Grange which aims to help regenerate Stevenston is to open six weeks ahead of schedule to accommodate a high profile retailer.
Scotmid Co-operative is opening a store at The Grange, the new business and commercial centre by the 24th of November.
Adrian Lorimer, Scotmid’s Head of Property said: “Scotmid is very excited to be opening this new store on Stevenston's high street later this month. Irvine Bay Regeneration Company has been very easy to work with and we would be more than happy to do another development project with them.
Interest in The Grange has been high. Irvine Bay Regeneration Company, who is behind the build, has received a substantial number of notes of interest from businesses keen to make use of the top-quality, highly specified space – including several that would be new to the area.
The Grange – named after the former cinema and bingo hall which previously stood on the site – is nearing completion and will provide flexible business, retail and workshop space in small unit size. The accommodation will total some 1,000 sq m.
All-inclusive rent is available from £450 plus vat per calendar month, with flexible lease periods of a year and longer. First floor offices range from 280 sq ft, with commercial space/workshops on the ground floor starting at 820 sq ft and going up to 1,932 sq ft.
The offices are served by a common entrance lobby, and benefit from nearby public transport links and car parking.
Demolition work on the previous building on the site was completed in December 2009. A planning application was submitted in March 2010. The main contractor for the project, Maxi Construction Ltd, was appointed in early October 2010 and the build started in late November 2010.
