Office Space in Luton at Butterfield Business Park

Butterfield Business Park is an office development built in 2007 and developed in the Butterfield Green area of Luton. The park has a total area of 90 acres total and commercial space amounts to 250,000 square feet. The park was created to boost the local economy, capitalising on Luton’s strategic location near an international airport and major distribution and logistics hubs, as well as to offer business owners high-quality and bespoke commercial real estate.

The park was developed by Henry Boot Developers and its current agents are Cushman & Wakefield and Lambert Smith Hampton. Following its completion in 2007, a second phase of development started in 2015, and in 2019 45 acres were still to be developed. As of early 2019, Butterfield Business park was home to an innovation centre, a research and development facility occupying 100,000 square feet, the Office Business Village, and a three star hotel.

The project has been so successful that further expansion is planned. Planning approval was granted in 2018 and work started in early 2019. The project’s completion date was set for the autumn of 2019, when a further 83,000 square feet of commercial space are expected to be added to the park’s current stock. Within the expansion plans is also the delivery of more than 600,000 square feet of space for employment purposes on a design and build basis. Once fully developed, Butterfield Business Park is expected to have 1 million square feet of space, becoming the largest development of its kind in the area.
