Key Points

Description

Forum, Solent Business Park provides the highest quality office accommodation on the South Coast midway between Southampton and Portsmouth.
Forum consists of 5 HQ office buildings, built between 2001 and 2007 totalling 252,981 sq ft and are home to household names such as Specsavers and hsbc. Forum sits within Solent Business Park, a mixed used scheme, including over one million sq ft of offices, covering over 130 acres and also benefiting from the amenities located at Whitley Shopping Centre.
Further development is planned on the balance of the site to include a hotel, pub/restaurant, new multi-storey car park (to serve the existing offices), nursery, gym and a high end scheme of B1c units.
Contemporary architecture allows natural light to flood into the Forum offices through floor to ceiling glass.
Overlooking tranquil lakes, the buildings adeptly bring a sense of outdoor space into the working environment. Landscaped grounds are enjoyed from a choice of footpaths and seating areas, enabling people to take time out to walk the grounds or sit by the lake and relax.
We're building something special at Forum, where people enjoy their work life. The surrounding amenities make this an enviable location.

Significant improvements to the road network are planned in and around Solent Business Park. Hampshire County Council will be undertaking a £22.2 million scheme to upgrade Junction 9 of the M27 as well as the slip roads leading down to Parkway South roundabout (R1), the first roundabout as you head towards Whiteley. This will significantly help to reduce congestion off
the motorway.
In addition to these improvements Whiteley Way is also planned to be upgraded to a dual carriageway and extended to link into Botley Road, via Bluebell Way, allowing traffic on and off the business park to the north. Junction R1a will also be signalised, easing congestion at this junction.
