The latest occupier to sign up is global technology company Telensa, who will move into the newly refurbished Iconix 3 building comprising c 13,000 sq ft. Telensa was founded in 2005 and is a world leader in delivering wireless smart city control systems, including the world’s most deployed smart streetlight solution.
Will Franks, chief executive officer at Telensa, said: “We are delighted to be moving to Iconix 3 early next year. Telensa is experiencing rapid international growth, with revenues up over 50% in each of the past two years, and this new HQ will be the focal point for our expanding operation.”
Colin Brown, development manager at Howard Group, said: “We are pleased to welcome Telensa to Iconix 3, to complete the existing Iconix Park line-up. As a global leader in its sector, this addition to the estate strengthens Sawston’s presence as a hub for forward-thinking businesses leading the way in their fields. With all units now occupied, we’re excited about the next phase of development.”
Plans are now in place for development of new R&D/office and lab facilities on the adjacent land.
Howard Group acquired Iconix Park, which lies in the heart of the Cambridge Science and Technology Cluster in late 2013. A comprehensive programme of refurbishment and re-letting means that the park is now home to Biocair, Transforming Pathology Partnership, Iontas, AQDot and Telensa. Further land (with planning) is available for pre-let development of between 20,000 and 150,000 sq ft.
