Bicester Motion has appointed property consultancy Bidwells as joint agent on the latest part of its 1,000,000 sq ft masterplan.
The former 444-acre RAF site will comprise four zones: Bicester Motion Heritage, Experience, Innovation and Wilderness, all connected by a central grass airfield.
Working alongside Adalta Real, Bidwells will provide additional support in prospecting new specialist businesses to join the Bicester Motion site.
Bicester Motion Innovation will be a hub for “market-disrupting businesses in the mobility space”. Development will sit within the established campus setting, adjacent to Bicester Heritage.
Mike Doran, asset management and leasing manager for Bicester Motion, said: “The addition of Bidwells to our leasing team for Bicester Motion Innovation will enable us to connect with an even wider range of innovators from across technology and mobility-focused businesses.
“We are looking forward to welcoming additional, market-disrupting specialists to our established community, to accelerate the development of new technologies in the world of motion, whichever form that may take.”
Duncan May, partner at Bidwells, added: “There are already several interesting tech businesses on the campus and we recognise there is an opportunity with the new Innovation Quarter scheme to build on this and develop the campus into the UK’s leading centre of excellence in the future of motion.
“We look forward to working closely with the Bicester Motion team and working towards realising this vision.”
Development of Bicester Motion Innovation is expected to begin in 2023, with the buildings open for occupation in early 2025.
