Independence Business Park is comprised of two buildings with units starting at 1,200 square feet.

Island Living Real Estate is assisting businesses interested in securing space in the new Independence Business Park, said Rachel Pinder, a Bahamas real estate investment expert and principal broker of Island Living Real Estate.

Construction of the business park is scheduled to begin in early October and the project is expected to be completed by May 2010 . Businesses will be able to occupy space there beginning in May.

Although occupancy is several months away, Pinder, who also specializes in Bahamas rental property, said Island Living Real Estate is prepared to assist businesses in securing leases now.

“We’ve already had a good deal of interest in the property,” Pinder said. “This will be a great opportunity for a variety of businesses.”

Independence Business Park is located on East Street South and is comprised of two buildings, Pinder said. Building A has 13 units that are 1,200 square feet or larger and are suitable for design or workshop studios, storage units or industrial uses. Larger custom space also is available. Building B includes seven units, which also can be customized to create larger spaces if necessary.

Pinder said the ability to customize the space to accommodate larger businesses is a key feature that differentiates Independence Business Park from other business parks in the Bahamas.

“The spaces are designed so that you could have workshop and showroom spaces in the same building,” she said. “We believe this new business park is addressing a definite need in the business community, and we anticipate that these spaces will go quickly.”

The park features convenient parking; large, hurricane impact windows; lots of natural light; maintained landscaping; and 24-hour security systems.
