Cornwall’s Business Future: Work Begins on Bodmin’s Normandy Way Hub

New Sustainable Workspace Takes Shape in Bodmin

Cornish developer Treveth has started construction on the new Normandy Way Business Hub in Bodmin, marking a fresh investment in Cornwall’s business infrastructure. The development is supported by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme and part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Located on the established Walker Lines Industrial Estate, the scheme will deliver seven high-quality, sustainable workspace units for light industrial, manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing occupiers. Once complete, the site will offer 910 sqm (9,795 sq ft) of modern, flexible space designed to support up to 25 employees.

Construction is being led by Poltair Construction Ltd, with work now underway and completion anticipated in March 2026. Cornwall Council is managing the projects funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme.

Designed for Growth and Sustainability

Each of the new units is designed to B2/B8 use class and built to high sustainability and accessibility standards. Key features include:

• 6m eaves height and open-plan internal design

• Solar PV panels and EV charging to each unit

• Energy-efficient construction and enhanced insulation

• Roller shutter doors, car parking, and cycle storage

• Space for mezzanine floors to allow future expansion

The development will also deliver a biodiversity net gain through enhanced landscaping and sustainable site design.

Backing Cornwall’s Growing Business Community

Treveth’s Managing Director, Tim Mulholland, said:

“We’re delighted to be breaking ground on the Normandy Way Business Hub — an important step in Treveth’s mission to deliver modern, sustainable workspace across Cornwall. Demand for high-quality industrial and commercial space remains strong, and this development will help address that need while supporting local business growth and job creation. The support from the Shared Prosperity Fund has been crucial in helping us bring this vision forward.”

Commercial property agent Alan Treloar of Vickery Holman, who is marketing the new units, added:

“There’s a real shortage of modern, flexible workspace in Cornwall, and Treveth’s approach to tenant-focused, sustainable development is exactly what the market needs. Normandy Way Business Hub offers businesses the opportunity to grow with confidence in a well-connected, high-quality setting.”

Supporting Cornwall’s Economic Growth

The new hub adds to Treveth’s expanding commercial property portfolio, which includes developments across Cornwall designed to stimulate local employment, attract investment, and generate long-term value for the region.

Treveth currently owns and manages commercial units across Bodmin, Helston, Pool, and Falmouth, all of which are fully let. The company aims to deliver at least 5,000 sq m of commercial space across Cornwall each year.
