Swindon is emerging as a town on the rise, with ambitious regeneration efforts, a growing business community, and increasing investment all coming together to reshape its future. Known for its exceptional connectivity and central location, Swindon is fast becoming an attractive destination for businesses seeking opportunity and growth outside the capital.

At the forefront of this transformation stands 1 Newbridge Square, an exciting new development redefining the town’s business district. Having recently undergone extensive refurbishment, 1 Newbridge Square offers premium Cat A office and retail spaces designed to support wellness, sustainability, and innovation, making it a key catalyst for Swindon’s evolution.

A prime location with unmatched connectivity
Situated just a two-minute walk from Swindon railway station, 1 Newbridge Square benefits from unrivalled transport links to London and the South East. Its central location ensures seamless connectivity for both businesses and visitors, making it an ideal choice for those seeking convenience and accessibility. Swindon’s position on the Great Western Main Line and its proximity to the

M4 corridor also strengthen its appeal as a business hub, connecting it to major cities and economic centres across the region.

For businesses that prioritise accessibility, this connectivity positions Swindon as a gateway to growth, combining the advantages of regional affordability with easy access to metropolitan markets.

A major milestone: FigFlex’s arrival at 1 Newbridge Square
1 Newbridge Square has now secured its first letting, with FigFlex Offices expanding their presence in Swindon. Building on the success of their existing location at 3 Newbridge Square, FigFlex is taking an additional 5,240 sq ft of premium space on the first floor of 1 Newbridge Square, further cementing their confidence in the Swindon market. This alongside many other conversations in significantly advanced stages. This milestone is accompanied by several other advanced negotiations currently underway.

The new FigFlex space, set to complete in Q2 2025, will deliver:

  • 3 additional meeting rooms accommodating 8–30 delegates
  • A Grade A serviced office environment
  • A ground-floor business lounge featuring breakout areas, booths, and kitchen facilities
  • A first-floor business club offering coworking spaces, booths, and additional collaborative spaces
  • This significant expansion not only reflects FigFlex’s trust in the future of Swindon’s business landscape but also underlines the increasing demand for high-quality, flexible office solutions.
  • Businesses of all sizes, from startups to established organisations, will benefit from the professional facilities and community-focused spaces FigFlex provides.

Meanwhile, their existing location at 3 Newbridge Square, a separate building within the Newbridge Square complex, continues to thrive. It offers 8,277 sq ft of space, 117 desks, four meeting rooms for 4–12 delegates, and a recently refurbished business lounge on the first floor. The success of this location demonstrates how new office developments are able to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses. Together, 1 and 3 Newbridge Square provide a seamless combination of flexibility, convenience, and quality, offering businesses an unparalleled choice within Swindon’s commercial centre.

A commitment to sustainability and wellness
1 Newbridge Square has been designed with environmental responsibility in mind, achieving a BREEAM Excellent accreditation and an EPC A rating. These standards are a testament to the development’s focus on creating spaces that not only reduce their environmental impact but also support the health and wellbeing of occupants. Furthermore, the development features a carbon net-zero fit out, Fitwel accreditation, and WiredScore certification – enhancing its commitment to sustainability, occupant wellness, and digital connectivity.

The development incorporates a range of sustainability features, such as energy-efficient systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and ample green spaces. These elements are
complemented by wellness-focused amenities, including breakout spaces, fitness facilities, large living wall and thoughtfully designed communal areas. By integrating these features, 1 Newbridge

Square offers a balanced environment in which both businesses and their employees can thrive.

As businesses increasingly prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, 1 Newbridge Square provides a workplace that aligns with these values, helping occupiers meet their sustainability targets and ensuring employee satisfaction.

Strengthening Swindon’s urban fabric
The development is also acting as a significant catalyst for the regeneration of Swindon town centre, as the local authority spearheads a £100 million investment programme over the next three years. This ambitious plan focuses on public realm improvements, enhanced transport links, and the creation of a new Cultural Quarter. These initiatives aim to attract fresh investment, drive footfall, and transform Swindon into a vibrant hub for business, culture, and community.

Swindon Borough Council’s ‘Heart of Swindon’ vision outlines eight ambitions to be realised over the next decade. These include creating new mixed-use neighbourhoods, supporting the growing creative community, and investing in green spaces to enhance the town’s liveability. By aligning with these strategic priorities, 1 Newbridge Square is playing a pivotal role in Swindon’s transformation into a leading business destination in the South East.

Embrace the future of work
Choosing 1 Newbridge Square means becoming part of a supportive business hub, where occupiers can grow in an environment that’s been specifically designed to help them succeed. The focus on creating spaces that encourage collaboration, productivity, and wellbeing sets this development apart as a forward-thinking workspace.

The development offers opportunities for networking and on-site collaboration, creating space for valuable connections to be made and allowing businesses to flourish as part of an exciting new community.

1 Newbridge Square is more than just an office space; it’s a lifestyle choice for its occupiers. The development embodies the future of the new working world. With its prime location, flexible high-quality spaces, commitment to sustainability, and pivotal role in Swindon’s wider regeneration plans, it presents an unparalleled opportunity for businesses seeking to advance and lay down roots in the heart of Swindon.
