This next phase will add 1 million sq. ft. of R&D, innovation, and engineering facilities to the existing 850-acre site, heralding a new era of growth, larger footprints, and enhanced opportunities for existing occupiers to scale up and thrive.
With flexibility at its core, Plot 9 delivers high-quality office and technical spaces that are ready for tenant fit-out. Its strategic location near central campus amenities, poised to benefit from future redevelopment, further enhances its appeal as a prime destination for businesses seeking to thrive in a dynamic environment.

Sir John Peace, Chairman of the Midlands Engine, “This milestone not only represents a significant economic opportunity for the region, with over £60m of high-value employment already present, but also signals a crucial next step in the evolution of both MIRA Tech Park and the global industry it supports. This development is a testament to the commitment of fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth, and is a key asset for the Midlands and UK’s innovation landscape.“
Tim Nathan, Managing Director for MIRA Tech Park, “The commencement of this next phase marks a significant step forward in the realisation of our vision and a key milestone unlocking the next phase of the Tech Park. We celebrate not only the economic growth this brings but also the spirit of collaboration that has made it possible, further establishing MIRA Tech Park as a globally attractive location and UK national asset.”
The Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council have been instrumental in driving economic development, playing a crucial role in unlocking this new phase for MIRA Tech Park. Their unwavering support and funding have been a key driving force in getting the Park to this stage.
This next phase of MIRA Tech Park is being delivered in a joint venture with real estate investor and developer Evans Randall Investors, with the project delivery managed by Swanvale Developments. GMI has been appointed as the construction company entrusted with the construction of Plot 9 which is set to achieve strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials, targeting a BREEAM rating of “Excellent” and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A.
Just weeks after the planning approval announcement for MIRA Tech Park’s South Site expansion, set to feature over 2 million sq. ft. of advanced manufacturing facilities, the groundbreaking of Plot 9 adds further momentum to the Park’s transformative journey. As anticipation grows for the announcement of building occupiers in the coming months, Plot 9 emerges as a symbol of innovation, sustainability, and growth. It embodies more than just the construction of a building; it represents the cultivation of a community and the realisation of a shared vision for a brighter future in the Midlands.
