Another Shed Goes

South Yorkshire continues to thrive as a locale for distribution and logistics with the latest major deal the letting of a 15,236 sq.metres (164,000 sq.ft.) warehouse at Quattro, the final phase of the West Moor Park scheme at Doncaster. The joint venture of Valad and Shepherd Developments has let the shed to Scotts Miracle Gro Company, the world’s largest marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products. Shepherd’s Richard Squire commented: “West Moor Park is now well established as a prime location in the Doncaster area and epitomises the renaissance of south Yorkshire over the past decade.” At Century Park Networkentre, Rotherham there have been five recent lettings in the workspace and office scheme developed by Network Space, a joint venture of Langtree and the Homes and Communities Agency, totalling 1,580 sq.metres (17,000 sq.ft.). The 5,388 sq.metres (58,000 sq.ft.) scheme has 28 small office suites and workspace units. In Sheffield, Property Alliance has completed the first phase of the refurbishment of the Ecclesfield 35 Industrial Estate which it bought in 2009. The £1 million improvements include an enhanced power supply and café area. The industrial and warehouse units range up to 4,645 sq.metres (50,000 sq.ft.). Property Alliance’s Lee Charnley said: “We are delighted with the enquiry level since completing the first phase and look forward to adding to the quality tenant list.” Opus North is one of the most active developers in the region and has recently let 6,178 sq.metres (66,500 sq.ft.) at Opus 36 Business Park, Goole to HCK the catering equipment and supplies group. This is the largest property deal in Goole this year with HCK relocating from another site in the town. Andrew Duncan of Opus North said: “The two remaining refurbished units are attracting interest and there is certainly pent up demand in the region.” Another Opus North scheme is a supermarket and mixed use scheme with Lidl in Barnsley, close to the new Gateway Plaza development.
