Buckmore Park, Petersfield
Gentian originally acquired a 20-acre site at Buckmore Park in Petersfield in joint venture with Sunny Day Capital, a well established London property company.
What we did
In 2016 a parcel of land was sold to a classic car storage specialist and in 2024 the 16-acre residential part of the site, with planning consent for 85 homes, was sold to Dandara.
Gentian currently owns two sites at Buckmore Park in Petersfield.
It has Reserved Matters Approval for a 4,730sqm (50,000 sqft) urban logistics park. Set across five buildings the scheme will achieve a BREEAM excellent rating and will allow tenants to maximise solar power generation. Given the sensitive location within the South Downs National Park, the scheme will provide significant landscaping throughout the site.
The other site is adjacent to the A3 and A272 with direct access to Petersfield Services. Work has begun here on a new retail and industrial development. The scheme will encompass a Starbucks drive-thru, a Greggs café and a new industrial/R&D unit. All buildings have been designed to reduce their environmental impact and will also benefit from a BREEAM excellent rating. It is anticipated the drive-thru and café will be open by February 2027 with the industrial building ready for occupation in March.
The industrial building, known as Buckmore One, will sit adjacent to the drive-thru and café, it will have 20 parking spaces and secure loading facilities. It is currently being marketed for let or sale via Lambert Smith Hampton and Vail Williams.
