In the heart of the UK’s automotive industry and part of Europe’s largest leading transport technology park, the Southern Manufacturing Sector (SMS) development site comprises 90 acres of prime employment land strategically located opposite the Technology Park and linking directly to the extensive R&D facilities at HORIBA MIRA.

Capable of providing up to 1.5 million sq ft of major R&D and manufacturing facilities, this self-contained site benefits from direct integration with the world-famous test facilities and R&D resources at the Technology Park, as well as the opportunity to promote an occupier’s independent corporate identity.

MIRA Technology Park’s unique and market-leading status has already attracted global automotive giants such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Honda, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover. The site inherits HORIBA MIRA’s global automotive profile and benefits from 842 acres of R&D engineering resources, world-class test facilities, skills availability and excellent transport links.

The development land already enjoys the advantages of significant infrastructure improvements, including direct access to the upgraded A5 opposite the main Technology Park entrance and improved transport measures.

The SMS represents a rare opportunity to deliver a bespoke facility for engineering companies, and join the list of global brands to become part of one of Europe’s fastest growing automotive R&D clusters.
