Bournemouth is able to offer high quality office premises at competitive levels of rent and development sites with considerable potential. The Council's Economic Development Unit can advise companies and investors about sites, facilities and premises available in the town.
We have an online property database which holds details of commercial property available in Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole, including offices, retail, industrial premises and development land. You can access our commercial property database online and run your own property searches. This is a free service provided by the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole local authorities.
Go to the property database website to start your search.
The local commercial estate agents listed at the end of this page will also be able to offer help and advice in locating suitable premises.

Strategic sites
Town Centre Office Development Sites
The Lansdowne, close to the Wessex Way and located between the town centre shopping area and Bournemouth rail station, is the main commercial area of Bournemouth. There are two sites offering a total of 13,000 sq metres of multi-storey office accommodation.
Aviation Park, Bournemouth Airport, Christchurch
Situated just to the north of Bournemouth within the Borough of Christchurch, the airport site offers approximately 80 hectares for office, light industrial and warehouse usage. The airport has already attracted around 140 major companies employing 2,500 people.
Commercial rents
A perception of modest UK growth prospects has limited the amount of speculative development. However, for companies thinking of relocating into the area, commercial rents in Bournemouth are very competitive.
