Small and medium sized businesses across Buckinghamshire could soon have the chance to purchase their own industrial units - something that has become increasingly difficult to secure in the South East.
Local property developer and investor, Jansons Property, has announced plans for Wycombe Works, a new 60,000 sq. ft scheme at Utah Way, High Wycombe. The development will provide a series of freehold units ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 sq. ft, tailored to owner occupiers.
Why this matters for local businesses
The South East has long faced a shortage of affordable, smaller, freehold commercial units. SMEs who want to own their premises have often had to compromise or remain tied to rental agreements, even as rents have soared to record highs.
For many business owners, ownership isn’t just about space rather it’s about stability and control. Buying a unit allows SMEs to:
- Fix long-term property costs, avoiding unpredictable rent rises.
- Secure premises that can be adapted to business needs.
- Build an asset for the future, rather than paying into a landlord’s portfolio.
This makes Wycombe Works particularly relevant to Buckinghamshire’s business community, where growth-focused SMEs are looking for cost certainty and the ability to invest in their own futures.
Designed for SMEs
Each unit at Wycombe Works is being built to modern specifications to meet the needs of small and growing businesses. Features include:
- 9 metre internal height and 4.5-metre loading doors for easy access
- High floor loading capacity suitable for a range of uses
- Dedicated parking, EV charging points and solar panels as standard.
Whether used for light manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, or a mix of office and workshop space, the design flexibility is intended to support businesses across multiple sectors.
A well-connected Buckinghamshire location
The development is a five-minute drive from Junction 4 of the M40, offering quick connections to London, Oxford and Birmingham. The nearby A404 provides links to the M4, opening up access to the wider Thames Valley.
Beyond transport links the scheme sits next to Abbey Barn Park, a new residential development, as well as a 34 acre country park giving business owners and employees access to green space, walking trails and local amenities.
Development Director Tom Jansons’ perspective
Jansons Property, who is behind the scheme, emphasise their connection to the region. Development Director Tom Jansons comments:
“We love creating spaces that really work for people, and right now there just aren’t enough small freehold units out there. This scheme is about changing that; it’s about giving local businesses a proper home where they can grow, invest for the future, and feel proud of where they’re based.”
How to get involved
Construction is expected to complete in the second half of 2026, with reservations already open.
