Clearbell Property Partners III LLP (Clearbell), a fund managed by private equity real estate fund management and advisory business Clearbell Capital LLP, has agreed a 10-year lease with ATAC Solutions for an additional 25,811 sq ft unit at LOC8, Maidstone.

An Axius Water company, ATAC Solutions delivers advanced, sustainable water and wastewater treatment solutions across the UK. It specialises in biological treatment systems and tertiary filtration, helping clients to meet discharge consents and environmental targets.

The letting marks a significant expansion for the leading environmental services company, bringing its total footprint at LOC8 to 38,156 sq ft. The additional space will enable ATAC Solutions to increase manufacturing capacity for its nutrients removal systems, improve equipment storage and deployment logistics, and expand research and development capabilities for sustainable treatment technologies.

The letting also follows strong leasing momentum at the park, with only two units remaining in phase two, which reached practical completion in December last year. ATAC Solutions is one of a diverse range of occupiers including Technical Fixing Solutions, Hitachi, Huws Gray and Ocura Healthcare. Each business brings distinct expertise to the park, contributing to a dynamic business ecosystem, further reinforcing LOC8’s position as one of Maidstone’s leading destinations for employment.

All phase two units have been built to BREEAM “Excellent” standard, achieving EPC A+ ratings, with sustainable features such as solar PVs, EV charging points and gas-free infrastructure. These features reflect Clearbell’s wider commitment to embedding ESG principles into its investment approach, with energy efficiency and sustainable design central to both asset management and value creation.

It’s fantastic to see a local business accelerating their growth journey. ATAC Solution’s decision to expand at LOC8 is not only a testament to the strength of the South East business community, but also the quality and appeal of the proposition we offer, combining high-quality, sustainable space with a thriving occupier network. This letting aligns with our long-term vision for LOC8 as a strategic employment hub for the South East, and we look forward to supporting more businesses as they scale.”

Toby Saul, Director at Clearbell Capital

Expanding at LOC8 gives us the perfect base to scale up our operations, deliver more projects nationwide, and invest in the next generation of water treatment technology. With increasing demand for nutrient removal systems to protect our rivers and waterways, this new facility ensures we can respond quickly, efficiently, and sustainably to our clients’ needs.”
