New warehouse at Winnersh Triangle will help make movies

A NEW warehouse has been created in a Wokingham-based business park, and it will be helping to make movies.

Frasers Property UK has completed the development of the 57,000 sq ft warehouse, known as Building 820, at Winnersh Triangle. It has been let to film and TV studio operator Stage Fifty and will provide workshop space and offices.

And Stage Fifty has exchanged contracts to pre-lease two new sound stages totalling 50,000 sq ft as part of a larger overall scheme, reflecting the demand for premium film and studio space.

Rupert Batho, commercial director of Frasers Property UK, said: “Our long-term collaboration with Stage Fifty demonstrates the flexibility and appeal of our portfolio and overall approach to the project, and the great facilities we have at Winnersh Triangle support the premium studio space offer.

“The planned, phased expansion of Stage Fifty’s Winnersh Film studios significantly supports the UK’s international reputation as a destination for television and film production.”

Frasers Property UK was represented by CBRE & Hollis Hockley, and Stage Fifty by Haslams.
