Finding business premises or land
South Cambridgeshire combines a strong entrepreneurial and business culture with green space and land. We are a collection of villages, and people value the strong sense of local community set in fenland sites, natural habitats rich in biodiversity, country parks and our network of footpaths, bridleways and waterways. At the same time Cambridge is in easy reach, and offers lots of retail, leisure and cultural facilities.
We have a wide range of commercial premises in our area that are available for rent or to buy, as well as co-working spaces for collaborative working.
