Mileway is a commercial property provider that partners with local and international businesses of all sizes and across all sectors to help them achieve their long-term, sustainable growth ambitions. Whether you are in need of a warehouse, distribution centre, manufacturing facility, workshop, retail showroom or any other business premises, we can help you find it.

Meeting your commercial property needs

No two commercial relocations are the same. Every business has different requirements, challenges and goals. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and our strategy is to understand our customers’ business. With a property needs assessment, our specialists can make sure your potential future premises are fit for purpose. We evaluate each site option based on your requirements to make sure every choice is a good one.

We cater to a range of priorities, including:

• Streamlining supply chains
• Reducing costs
• Minimising waste 
• Ensuring that the space is suitable for employees
• Reducing environmental impact

The Mileway team can also provide regional insight and location analysis to help you choose an area suited to your priorities. This could mean a last-mile property for speedy deliveries, a spot with the facilities and parking to accommodate your staff, or an area with closer international transport links for importing goods. When it comes to site suitability, we do everything we can to meet client requirements.

Focusing on both the right property features and the ideal location, our portfolio can cater to your requirements even as they evolve.

Lease flexibility

It’s not always ideal to be locked into a long-term lease. Many of our customers value the flexibility to change locations or scale their space up at the opportune time, rather than having to wait for the end of a lease. 

Our focus is on finding additional ways to provide customers with the flexible options they need. With this in mind, we can help you move to your next property even before the end of your current lease.

Prioritising your long-term growth

We keep a long-term view in mind when it comes to reviewing, appraising and expanding our portfolio. Our local teams are on hand to discuss your future requirements in terms of room, space optimisation, or whatever other priorities you may have in mind. 

We aim to continually audit our spaces to make them more appealing, functional and cost-efficient for our customers. This includes exploring ways to improve sustainability and energy efficiency to enable more environmentally and socially conscious practices, such as installing PV panels and EV charging stations.

Please contact your Asset Manager to explore how we can support your sustainable growth and cater to your specific space needs. To find out more about our commercial portfolio, contact Mileway today.
