Bicester Arc, the 48-acre commercial land development, chose its home for a reason. Bicester, Oxfordshire, is a rapidly growing investment hub known for its connectivity, making it an appealing place for businesses to locate.
Benefitting from excellent transport infrastructure, Bicester Arc is minutes from the M40 and served by direct rail links to Oxford, London, and Birmingham. In the immediate vicinity, over 2,000 people live within a ten-minute walk of the development. This connectivity extends beyond transport, with the location also offering proximity to a range of innovative industries.
Oxford is only 12 miles away and home to the renowned University of Oxford, with the county ranking highest in the country for educational attainment. Thousands of workers, including highly skilled and specialised professionals, are choosing Bicester (and the wider county) as their home. Meanwhile, the growing population, projected to reach 50,000 by 2031, is supported by a target of building 10,000 homes in the next five years, making the area an even more appealing place to live.
As one of only four areas nationally that contribute more to the exchequer than they receive, Oxfordshire’s culture of betterment creates an ecosystem where no goal is too ambitious, and start-ups can thrive. Equally, the region consistently supports large businesses, with a higher concentration of 250-plus employee enterprises than the rest of England.
Oxford is home to one of the UK's most established life science clusters, including the university’s Oxford Sciences Enterprise, which has launched more than 250 companies since 2015. As the beating heart of the Oxfordshire economy, Bicester has attracted significant investment from a variety of sectors, including direct foreign investment valued at over £3.1 billion. In addition to life sciences, technology, automotive, and advanced engineering are key local industries. One such example is the so-called Motorsport Valley, Oxfordshire’s £6 billion automotive cluster home to BMW Mini and the base of four F1 teams.
With multiple planning permissions already in place, Bicester Arc is ready for immediate development. From standalone to campus-style buildings, the site provides a blank canvas for companies wanting to create their own identity. Occupiers will have the benefit of an on-site 13.7 MVA primary substation, a 15-acre eco-park, and sustainable buildings designed to achieve premium environmental targets. Designed for office, technology, laboratory, and R&D uses, Bicester Arc represents unmatched potential for high-growth businesses.
