Work is about to start on the first building at Drumpellier Business Park in Coatbridge, the joint venture initiative between Ogilvie Group Developments and North Lanarkshire Council’s regeneration company, Fusion Assets, which has planning permission for 65,000 sq ft of office development.

The two storey, 8,000 sq ft building, to be called Enterprise House, will provide high quality office space, sub divisible to accommodate a range of units from 1,500 sq ft upwards.

Ogilvie Construction will build the new facility after an award of over £1.1 million grant funding from the Scottish Government’s Regeneration Capital Grant Fund.

The business park is located in prime position with excellent access to major road and rail networks, as well as public transport and will incorporate over 200 parking spaces.

Murray Collins, Managing Director, Fusion Assets Ltd, said:

“We have been able to progress this initiative as a result of the grant from the Scottish Government’s Regeneration Capital Grant Fund.  This is the first important stage in achieving our aim to create a village of small to medium sized offices for growing and established businesses.”

Steve Lloyd, Director, Ogilvie Group Developments, added:

“We are delighted that work is starting on this significant regeneration project for the area. The offices will be constructed to the highest standard, offering quality business accommodation.”

Enterprise House will offer local businesses the opportunity to be based in a modern high quality building in a very accessible location. Knight Frank and Whyte & Barrie have been appointed as the letting agents.

Ogilvie Construction has climbed one place to 7th in the top ten building contractors in Scotland in the latest independent index, published by Construction News.

The survey showed that for the year to July 2015 Ogilvie has won 19 new deals with a combined contract value of over £155.8 million.

The report is indicative of the continued successful growth of the constructor business, which has secured a number of public sector works, along with major projects in the private sector, particularly in hotel, leisure and student accommodation sectors.

Donald MacDonald Managing Director, Ogilvie Construction, said:

“Our continued success is the result of our people and their unstinting commitment to deliver high quality buildings that meet the needs of our customers, on time and within budget.”
