Mission Street has recently achieved an important milestone in the construction of the new Oxford innovation hub<\/h2>\n

Mission Street is a specialist investor, developer, and operator for the science and innovation sector. They are currently working in collaboration with BGO to redevelop a retail warehouse unit on Botley Road in Oxford’s West End.<\/p>\n

The Oxford innovation hub, called Inventa, will offer 65,000 square feet of prime innovation real estate located within a short walk from Oxford railway station.<\/p>\n

The topping-out ceremony on July 27 marked the completion of the new structure, and the scheme is expected to be finished by Q4 2023.<\/p>\n

Inventa<\/a> will serve as a commercial science space in Oxford’s West End. Mission Street has proposed a Phase 2 project named Fabrica, a 183,000-square-foot new-build project at the former DFS and Carpetright location.<\/p>\n

Mission Street wants to create a world-class science facility<\/h3>\n

A science-focused space exceeding one million square feet is in progress within the West End. This includes projects like the Oxpens development, which is currently awaiting planning approval.<\/p>\n

The building will feature adaptable floor spaces, a public caf\u00e9, and new green areas. The facility also aims to be a ‘living wage building’, meaning all future occupants and service providers must pay the Oxford living wage to their staff.<\/p>\n

The Oxford innovation hub is \u00a0aiming for a minimum BREEAM Excellent rating<\/h3>\n

The design features solar panels, 200 bicycle storage spaces, and shower facilities. The parking area will accommodate 74 cars, with approximately a quarter of them equipped with EV charging<\/a> facilities.<\/p>\n

Mission Streets project coincides with a series of government initiatives aimed at improving the UK’s research institutions. The initiatives are designed to combat restrictive economic regulations and poor physical infrastructure that has hindered growth.<\/p>\n

The UK has ambitious plans to grow its science and innovation sector<\/h3>\n

In June, Jeremy Hunt unveiled the “Life Sci for Growth” package, a \u00a3650m commitment to enhance the country’s life sciences sector. This includes up to \u00a3250m to encourage pension schemes to invest in science and technology firms.<\/p>\n

A further \u00a3154m will boost the capacity of the UK’s biological data repository. The Mansion House Compact, introduced in July, involves nine pension funds with $1.3tn in assets, leading to a minimum of 5% for unlisted equities.<\/p>\n

This shift could channel an extra \u00a350bn into private and growth companies, transforming the landscape of UK innovation businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cMission Street continues to act as an enabler for the science and technology sectors by building the infrastructure that enables start-ups and scale-ups to grow and commercialise. By reaching the latest site milestone at Inventa, we are now a few months away from completing the scheme,\u201d said Artem Korolev, founder and CEO of Mission Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be delivering a scheme that genuinely provides benefits at a local level whilst addressing the chronic undersupply of high-quality lab and office space that is much needed in the Oxford ecosystem,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
