£1m industrial estate refurbishment programme underway

The refurbishment of a Sheffield industrial estate has commenced amid heightening occupier demand.

Warrington-based Langtree, which manages the site on behalf of an institutional client, is now on site with an improvement plan, budgeted at approaching £1m, of Meadowbrook Industrial Estate at Holbrook.

The 14-unit site was acquired around 18 months ago and a letting to Screwfix has added to the high profile occupier line up of Howdens Joinery, Plumb Center, Spinks and Travis Perkins.

Units 10-12, each extending to around 5,000 sq ft which could be combined for a total of 15,111 sq ft, are currently vacant and are undergoing extensive changes as part of the modernisation which includes new office accommodation, external decoration, signage, and new aluminium windows.

Kathryn Smart, group senior property manager at Langtree, said: “Our strategy of revitalising industrial estates is now underway at Meadowbrook Industrial Estate.

“The estate already benefits from a number of trade counter and industrial occupiers and we expect our extensive refurbishment programme to attract further interest.”

Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank, said:  “We are seeing an increasing number of these industrial estates modernised to cope with the heightening demand across South Yorkshire.”
