Harworth delivers latest development at AMP
Harworth group has delivered the latest speculative phase at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham.
Six units totalling 52,068 sq ft have been practically completed by the brownfield regeneration and property investment specialist as part of its continued expansion of the site.
JF Finnegan began construction of the units, which range from 4,966 sq ft to 26,107 sq ft, in September 2016,
The units – a scheme of two terraces across three acres – forms part of Phase 2 of ‘R-evolution @ The AMP’ and builds on the scheme’s success by providing floorspace aimed at leading advanced manufacturers.
Phase 1 of R-evolution – 52,000 sq ft of space built in 2014 – is fully occupied, with key occupiers including X-Cel Superturn and Metalysis.
The AMP is already home to businesses working in the aerospace, defence, construction, automotive, and sport sectors. Occupiers include the AMRC, Boeing, Rolls Royce, Castings Technology International (CTI), Dormer Tools and Sandvik Coromant. It forms part of Waverley – Yorkshire’s largest ever brownfield mixed-use development at 740 acres, where over 1m sq ft of employment space and more than 650 homes have already been built and occupied.
David Travis, director of business space at Harworth Group, said: “We’re delighted with the quality of all six completed units and I want to express my continued thanks to both JF Finnegan and our appointed project team for another job well done. We are now actively promoting these units for immediate leasehold occupation to advanced manufacturing and engineering companies wanting to be in close proximity to the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the other high-value occupants of the AMP.”
The scheme will be marketed by jointly appointed agents Knight Frank and Gent Visick.
Tom Swallow, senior surveyor at Knight Frank’s Sheffield office, said: “We are witnessing good levels of demand from occupiers looking for space on the Advanced Manufacturing Park.
“The next phase of R-evolution offers flexibility to accommodate requirements from circa 5,000 to 26,000 sq ft and with one of the units already under offer, we are confident that the scheme will prove successful given the lack of existing available space in the market.”
