Posted on by Kate Aird

Business Meeting at Maxim Business Park Scotland @officeinukMaxim Office Park in North Lanarkshire is Scotland’s largest business park. The £330 million development can employ between 7,000 and 8,000 people and is located at Eurocentral, one of the largest industrial estates in Scotland. The site offers over 756,000 square feet of office space across ten buildings. The business park is one of the most accessible commercial developments in the country, with convenient links from across West Central Scotland. Maxim Office Park is also within a workforce catchment area of over 1.55 million people, who can commute to and from the site in approximately 50 minutes during peak periods.

About the Maxim Office Park

Eurocentral is home to a number of warehouses and distribution centres, factories and call centres. It also features a rail freight centre linking the area with the nearby Gragemouth docks, as well as England and mainland Europe. Officially opened in March 2010, the Maxim Office Park features ten modern office buildings built between 2006 and 2010. All buildings have good BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) ratings with leading green facilities, with Building 5 rated as ‘excellent’ and the remaining nine buildings rated as ‘very good’. High-profile tenants include the Valiant Group, Regus, and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA)

Maxim Office Park features six acres of purpose-build office space, as well as attractive landscaped and community areas, ponds and waterfalls, promenades and timber boardwalks, outdoor and indoor event and exhibition space, retail amenities, and a business centre with modern meeting rooms and serviced office space. All buildings were constructed in a single phase and are numbered from 1 to 10 (for example, Maxim 6) and range in size from 32,643 square feet to 187,206 square feet. Broadgate Estates provides on-site building and management services for the business park.

Services include 24-hour security and CCTV coverage, a green recycling policy, a community events programme, and high-quality cleaning and maintenance. Buildings have flexible floor plans and are fully accessible with express passenger lifts, toilets with shower facilities, and energy-saving lighting. The business park also boasts ample on-site car parking. Office space ranges from suites of approximately 4,000 square feet to full office buildings.

In addition to office space, the park is suitable for retail and leisure operators. The business park includes a crèche operated by Maxim Nursery, as well as a sandwich bar and delicatessen.
