Description

Burrington Estates acquired this former newspaper production hub in 2015 with a vision to breathe new life and energy into the unique building and renamed it ‘The Spirit of Enterprise’.

The building is iconic within the Plymouth International & Medical Technology Park, which is one of the city’s leading business parks, sat adjoining Derriford Hospital.

Other occupiers on the park include Land Registry, K2 Medical, Plymouth Radiology, Specsavers and Hellermann Tyton. Other amenities include Future Inn hotel and restaurant, Busy Bees nursery and St Matthews primary school.

The building has been sub-divided and has attracted Bodyworld, Adrenalin and Clip n Climb, who are all located within the stern of The Ship. The bow of The Ship is currently laid out as three floors of offices with supporting amenities. The scale of the glazing in this part of the building provide high levels of light, which create a superb working environment and far reaching views over the neighbouring nature reserve. The extensive and dedicated car park is there to complement a regular bus service that runs around the park and from Tavistock Road.

The building can be adapted, subject to planning consent and listed building approval, for alternative uses such as healthcare, medical and life sciences,
education, leisure and advanced manufacturing.
