Fire Protection Agency Ignites Oxfordshire’s M40 Office Market

Pembroke House, the refurbished Grade A office building on Banbury Business Park, has successfully let its ground floor accommodation – totalling some 13,200 sq ft to the Fire Protection Agency, underlining the building’s growing appeal to high-quality, forward-thinking occupiers.

The Fire Protection Agency is a nationally recognised organisation delivering specialist fire safety expertise, training and risk management services. Its decision to locate at Pembroke House reflects the strength of the building’s specification, accessibility and value proposition within the Oxfordshire office market.

Comprehensively refurbished, Pembroke House provides modern, flexible office accommodation set around a landscaped central courtyard, with high-quality existing fit-out, air conditioning, raised floors and excellent on-site amenities including an excellent 3,500 sq ft restaurant facility for the occupiers. The property also benefits from an exceptional car parking provision, with up to one space per 185 sq ft available, supported by substantial additional parking areas — a rarity in the region.

Strategically positioned between Junctions 10 and 11 of the M40, Pembroke Houses location places occupiers firmly within Oxfordshire’s dynamic economic corridor, which continues to attract technology-led, engineering, logistics and professional services businesses, driven by strong skills availability and proximity to world-leading research institutions.

Importantly, rents at Pembroke House represent excellent value when compared with prime Oxford and wider Oxfordshire locations, with quoting levels significantly below city-centre pricing while delivering a comparable Grade A specification and far superior parking provision.

The letting to the Fire Protection Agency further strengthens Pembroke House’s position as one of North Oxfordshire’s most compelling office offerings.

Chris White Managing Director of White Commercial commented “With rents at £15 per sq ft as opposed to Oxfords £60 per sq ft these offices provide excellent accommodation with quality on-site facilities. We are already talking to several companies about the first floor.

North Oxfordshire and the M40 with its excellent connections to the UK goes from strength to strength in attracting quality occupiers to this growing and expanding region”.
