Richard Topps, Head of Property at NFU Mutual said: “Together with Salmon, we aim to create a first class development with a tenant profile for likely long term hold for NFU Mutual. This is another exciting scheme for us and further demonstrates the strength of our joint venture with Salmon where we have the financial resources available to secure developments in which the risks are managed by Salmon.”
Rorie Henderson, Development Director at Salmon, added: “We shall look forward to continuing the good work already done in preparing the development for delivery and are confident in the leasing prospects for the project.
