Introducing 1 Newbridge Square: An unrivalled modern office opportunity
Swindon is a town on the rise. As a result of ambitious regeneration efforts, the combination of its growing business community, continued investment, extensive connectivity and central location has made the town an increasingly attractive business destination for those looking for space outside of the capital.
At the forefront of this transformation is our new, exciting office development, 1 Newbridge Square. Newly refurbished, we’ve brought the space up to modern-day efficiency standards to offer premium Cat A office and retail spaces, designed to support wellness, sustainability, and innovation, making it a key catalyst for Swindon’s evolution.
A prime location with unmatched connectivity
Sitting within Swindon’s business district, 1 Newbridge Square is just a convenient two-minute walk from Swindon railway station, offering unrivalled transport connections to London and the South East for both businesses and visitors.
The town’s position on the Great Western Main Line and its proximity to the M4 corridor also strengthens its appeal as a business hub, meaning future tenants will benefit from key connections to major cities and economic centres across the region. The opportunity at 1 Newbridge Square represents a gateway to growth, thanks to the combined advantages of our affordable lease agreements and the region’s access to metropolitan markets.
A major milestone: FigFlex’s arrival at 1 Newbridge Square
With multiple advanced lease negotiations currently underway, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve secured our first letting at 1 Newbridge Square. Building on the success of their existing location at 3 Newbridge Square, FigFlex Offices are expanding to 1 Newbridge Square, taking an additional 5,240 sq ft of premium space on our first floor.
Working with FigFlex, our projects team are designing and delivering a modern office space that’s set to complete in Q2 2025. This will include:
This significant expansion not only reflects FigFlex’s trust in the future of Swindon’s business landscape but also underlines the increasing demand for high-quality, flexible office solutions. Businesses of all sizes, from startups to established organisations, will benefit from the professional facilities and community-focused spaces that FigFlex provides.
Meanwhile, their existing location at 3 Newbridge Square, a separate building within the Newbridge Square complex, continues to thrive, highlighting how new office developments are able to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses.
Together, both 1 and 3 Newbridge Square provide a seamless combination of flexibility, convenience and quality, offering businesses unparalleled choice within Swindon’s commercial centre.
A commitment to sustainability and wellness
We’ve purposefully designed 1 Newbridge Square with environmental responsibility in mind, achieving a BREEAM Excellent accreditation and an EPC A rating. These standards are a testament to our focus on creating spaces that not only minimise environmental impact but also support the health and wellbeing of occupants.
Additionally, the building features a carbon net-zero fit out and has gained a Fitwel accreditation and a WiredScore certification – enhancing our commitment to sustainability, occupant wellness, and digital connectivity.
Throughout the development we’ve responsibly incorporated a range of sustainability features, such as energy-efficient systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and ample green spaces. These elements are complemented by wellness-focused amenities, including breakout spaces, fitness facilities, a large living wall and thoughtfully designed communal areas. By integrating these features, at 1 Newbridge Square, we offer a balanced environment in which both businesses and their employees can thrive.
As businesses increasingly prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, we’ve made sure 1 Newbridge Square provides modern workspaces that align with these values, helping occupiers meet their sustainability targets and ensuring employee satisfaction.
Strengthening Swindon's urban fabric
At FI Real Estate Management, we believe in the opportunity and potential of Swindon town centre. As a result, we’ve invested heavily in the refurbishment of the building to ensure it acts as a significant catalyst for the wider regeneration of Swindon town centre, as the local authority spearheads a £100 million investment programme over the next three years.
This ambitious plan focuses on public realm improvements, enhanced transport links, and the creation of a new Cultural Quarter. These initiatives aim to attract fresh investment, drive footfall, and transform Swindon into a vibrant hub for business, culture, and community.
Swindon Borough Council’s ‘Heart of Swindon' vision outlines eight ambitions to be realised over the next decade. These include creating new mixed-use neighbourhoods, supporting the growing creative community, and investing in green spaces to enhance the town’s liveability. By ensuring we align with these strategic priorities, 1 Newbridge Square is now playing a pivotal role in Swindon’s transformation into a leading business destination.
Embrace the future of work
1 Newbridge Square offers an opportunity to be part of a supportive business hub, where occupiers can succeed in an environment that’s been specifically designed to aid their growth. At FI Real Estate Management, we have focused on creating spaces that encourage collaboration, productivity, and wellbeing, setting this development apart as a forward-thinking workspace.
Our vision is for 1 Newbridge Square to be more than just an office space; in our eyes, it's a lifestyle choice. The development embodies the future of the new working world. With a prime location, flexible high-quality spaces, and a commitment to sustainability, we’ve created an unparalleled opportunity for businesses seeking to advance and lay down roots in the heart of Swindon.
