About from company website
EKSDC aims to deliver sustainable projects within its target area that facilitate the creation of employment opportunities. The company is a local authority controlled company incorporated in April 2002, operating across Canterbury, Folkestone, Hythe, Dover, and Thanet. Over the past 12 years, EKSDC has been actively involved in developing business centres in the region.
Notable developments include the Canterbury Innovation Centre (opened 2009), the Aylesham Employment Project (Garrity House and workshops), and the refitting and purchase of Clover House in Whitstable (2017). More recently, the company purchased the lease of 16 Bouverie Place, Folkestone, and refitted it to a high-spec office building (2020-2021). EKSDC's selection criteria for new projects focus on regeneration that creates employment, demonstrable market failure, return on investment, and meeting partner organisation objectives.
All centres offer easy in/easy out terms, 24/7 access, and are developed to a high standard, with most buildings achieving a BREEAM rating of very good or higher.
