“The vision for the site is to realise the full economic potential of Exeter as a major regional centre, providing a range of employment opportunities and highlighting the area as a self-sufficient new urban community. A community offering people the ability to live in a much sought-after part of the country in close proximity to where the majority of new jobs will be provided.”

As the cornerstone of the Exeter and East Devon New Growth Point, SkyPark will be the South West’s most significant business park development. It will combine environmentally sustainable office and industrial space with a hotel, local facilities and a combined heat and power plant providing district heating, all in a landscaped environment of more than 100 acres.

Your Opportunity:

The vision for the site is to realise the full economic potential of Exeter as a major regional centre, providing a range of employment opportunities and highlighting the area as a self-sufficient new urban community. A community offering people the ability to live in a much sought-after part of the country in close proximity to where the majority of new jobs will be provided.

By joining us at SkyPark you will become part of a ground-breaking development which seeks to embody sustainable principles at their broadest levels and address social, economic and environmental objectives.
