A new industrial scheme of three "best-in-class" industrial units has reached practical completion.

Connect 5, located at Bartley Way in Hook, has been delivered by Amiri Construction on behalf of Kingsbridge and offers one 37,910 sq ft detached unit and two 9,350 sq ft units that can be combined.

Kingsbridge welcomed agents and property industry colleagues to mark practical completion of works.

Guests tested their skills on a football simulator, were gifted authentic England home shirts, and enjoyed stone-fired pizza, artisan ice cream and barista coffee served from a VW camper van.

Rachel Lacklison, senior asset manager at Kingsbridge, said: "As England’s World Cup campaign begins, and we reach our goal of practical completion at Connect 5, we thought a football-themed event was a very good way to mark the occasion."

The site, close to Junction 5 of the M3, is the first in Hook to achieve this rating and an EPC A+.

It also delivers 15 per cent biodiversity net gain, exceeding the national requirement of 10 per cent.

The scheme features solar panels, 82 parking spaces, EV charging points with future expansion capability and bicycle storage.

Jon Daines, managing director at Amiri Construction, said: "This project is a great example of what we can achieve together.

"We are particularly pleased to have delivered a high-quality, sustainable scheme that meets the evolving needs of occupiers while supporting greener, more efficient buildings for the future.”

The development brings employment use back to the site of the former Europa House.
