Treveth breaks ground on Normandy Way Business Hub to support local businesses in Cornwall
Cornish developer Treveth has started construction on the Normandy Way Business Hub in Bodmin — a new investment in Cornwall’s business infrastructure, supported by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme.
Located on the established Walker Lines Industrial Estate, the development will deliver seven high-quality, sustainable workspace units designed to meet the needs of light industrial, manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing occupiers.
This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Cornwall Council is responsible for managing projects funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through the Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme.
Construction is being led by Poltair Construction Ltd, with work now underway and completion anticipated in March 2026. Once finished, the site will provide 910 sqm (9,795 sq ft) of modern, flexible space capable of supporting up to 25 employees.
Each of the new units is designed to B2/B8 use class and built to high sustainability and accessibility standards. Key features include:
- 6m eaves height and open-plan internal design
- Solar PV panels and EV charging to each unit
- Energy-efficient construction and enhanced insulation
- Roller shutter doors, car parking, and cycle storage
- Space for mezzanine floors to allow future expansion
The development will also deliver a biodiversity net gain through enhanced landscaping and sustainable site design.
Treveth’s Managing Director, Tim Mulholland, said the Normandy Way Business Hub represents a significant step forward in supporting Cornwall’s growing business community.
“We’re delighted to be breaking ground on the Normandy Way Business Hub — an important step in Treveth’s mission to deliver modern, sustainable workspace across Cornwall. Demand for high-quality industrial and commercial space remains strong, and this development will help address that need while supporting local business growth and job creation. The support from the Shared Prosperity Fund has been crucial in helping us bring this vision forward.”
Commercial property agent Alan Treloar of Vickery Holman, who is marketing the new units, said demand for flexible, sustainable workspace across Cornwall remains strong.
“There’s a real shortage of modern, flexible workspace in Cornwall, and Treveth’s approach to tenant-focused, sustainable development is exactly what the market needs. Normandy Way Business Hub offers businesses the opportunity to grow with confidence in a well-connected, high-quality setting.”
The new Hub builds on Treveth’s growing commercial property portfolio, which includes developments across Cornwall designed to stimulate local employment, attract inward investment, and generate long-term value for the region.
This latest project aligns with Treveth’s wider mission to deliver flexible, tenant-focused commercial space that contributes to Cornwall’s economic growth while meeting environmental goals.
