First phase of refurbished 70,000 sq ft business park fully let

The refurbishment of ARBA Group’s 70,000 sq ft Meadowhall Business Park has attracted a host of new tenants and the first phase of the refurbished space fully let.

Eaton Commercial Property Consultants, Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining (Holdings) and North Midlands Construction have joined construction company NG Bailey, surveyors Auburn Ainsley, and photography and makeover studio Chique Photography as tenants of the 12,000 sq ft block 3 building.

Further phases of the park’s five, former council-owned buildings, are also undergoing refurbishment and much of the space is already under offer through joint appointed agents Knight Frank and Campbell & Co.

North Midlands Construction, principle engineers on Ikea’s road infrastructure have taken space on the ground floor of Block 3, whilst Galaxy Insulation is located at the first floor and Eaton Commercial also takes space on the ground floor.

Richard Burns, director at ARBA Group, said: “The completion of Block 3, which is fully tenanted is a great milestone for us and the unparalleled levels of interest we are seeing in the rest of the site bodes very well for us with some more lettings announcements likely to be made in the very near future.

“The remainder of the site is still undergoing refurbishment and we have exterior cladding to install on all five buildings, and we are marketing space from 2,000 sq ft to up to 15,000 sq ft and at present we have 60 per cent of the site let and can report strong interest in the remaining space.

“Meadowhall’s development as its own commercial district is evolving rapidly and in line with the establishment of a new IKEA superstore and an extension to the shopping centre, demand for good office space with such a strategic location is only likely to increase.”
