The names of the first new building to go up inside the country’s only Marine Enterprise Zone were unveiled this month as Endeavour and Endurance. The buildings are designed to be flexible for industrial as well as office and workshop space while reflecting the historic nature of South Yard and the street pattern just outside the boundaries. Council Leader Ian Bower helped fit a pane of glass at the highest point of the first building to be constructed within the former naval yard as part of the topping out ceremony.

Councillor Bowyer said: “We are now getting a real feel for how this unique site could look in years to come. We wanted to make sure these new buildings were very much in keeping with this historic site and you can definitely see the quality of the material beginning to shine through."

“While we can’t yet reveal who they are, we are really excited by the level of interest from companies. They include research and marine technology businesses and marine services or companies who are a key part of the supply chain for other marine businesses here in Plymouth and the wider South West peninsula.”

“Plymouth’s marine sector employs over 13, 000 people and we were keen to make sure that this site, with its incredible waterfront, is reserved for businesses who need to be clustered with other marine businesses and have access to the water."
