Science park developer Mission Street and real estate manager BGO have got the planning green light to build a 23-acre urban science district in central Cambridge.
Totaling 1m sq ft across 7 buildings, the scheme’s design has been led by master planners HawkinsBrown in collaboration with other leading design practices.
The £100m project will be built in three phases on land south of Coldhams Lane, near Cambridge Airport.
During construction, the project is expected to create over 800 jobs and £7m of local expenditure, as well as apprenticeship and training programmes.
Once complete, it will create nearly 4,000 high-skill jobs, with a mandated Living Wage.
Artem Korolev, CEO, Mission Street, said: This project embodies the principle that it is entirely possible to blend R&D space for world-leading innovators with community amenities that everyone can enjoy.”
“We look forward to engaging further with planning officers, the community and other statutory consultees, as we deliver a globally significant science destination that current and future generations will be proud of.”
