Leading housebuilder is loving life at Maxim Park

At the start of 2024 we announced the news that a major name in housebuilding would soon be heading to Maxim Park to join our growing workplace community.

In April, Barratt Developments completed the relocation of its West Scotland team to Maxim Park after 17 years at Buchanan Gate in Stepps on the outskirts of Glasgow.

The move came after the housebuilder, which includes Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes, signed a 10-year lease on 9,000 sq.ft of office space within the third floor of Maxim 7 with landlord, Shelborn Asset Management.

Between January and April, a full internal fit out was undertaken to provide Barratt with a mixture of dedicated offices and meeting rooms in conjunction with open plan working areas, collaboration spaces and a large communal kitchen/breakout area.  In addition, the 80-strong team has its own dedicated wellness room.

The Barratt team is now making use of the wide range of onsite facilities that Maxim Park offers, a factor which proved to be one of the main considerations behind the move for the housebuilder.

Suzanne Craven, Barratt West Scotland Finance Director, who is based at Maxim Park, says the move has been seamless. She added: “Feedback from staff has been positive and everyone loves the benefit of being on one floor. We have seen a real improvement in communication and collaboration between our teams. 

“The easy access from the M8 motorway both East and West is a big advantage, and our employees are making use of the onsite retail amenities and getting involved with the events. We have been made very welcome at Maxim - it feels like we’ve always been here!”
