Spotlight on... St Austell

Located in the heart of Cornwall's beautiful south coast, St Austell is the latest town to be featured in our new "spotlight on." section which showcases different areas of Cornwall. The aim is to bring you news of regeneration projects both leisure and commercial and provide the latest on exciting new workspace developments.

Business Premises
Investment in employment space across the whole county over the last few years has resulted in incredibly high quality business accommodation developments in St Austell. For example HRH The Duke of York officially opened the new Brunel Business Park in February 2007. The £4.78million office park provides high quality space in seven units which are now available to let - these units are particularly suited to businesses within the creative industries and ICT sector.  For more information on availability contact Vickery Holman.

In addition to the Brunel Business Park, work has now been completed on Cannis House a new Grade A detached 3 storey office building capable of division built to a high specification, situated in a high quality business environment. For more information on availability contact Prioity Sites. 

Town Centre (now named White River Place)
Work is gathering pace on the £75million regeneration of St Austell town centre. Contractors have already removed from site half of the excavated material in preparation for the construction of the underground car park and more interestingly to residents and visitors, a whole host of new shops, bars, restaurants and modern apartments. The new look town centre will also feature a state-of-the-art four screen cinema which will be the first project completed and due to be operational by the end of 2008.

St Austell Civic Pride
To complement the town centre redevelopment, work has started on the £3.7million Civic Pride scheme led by Restormel Borough Council and funded by the South West Regional Development Agency and European Objective One. Phase one will see improvements to footpaths, roadways, lighting, signage and landscaping the area surrounding the Holy Trinity Church.
