Henry Boot’s speculative build underway

SPECULATIVE construction of new industrial/warehouse facilities in South Yorkshire is underway.

Developer Henry Boot said that units at Thorne Park near Doncaster will be available for occupation as soon as summer this year with scheme completion due by September.

Thorne Park comprises over 150,000 sq ft of prime industrial and warehouse space with units available from 3,550 sq ft up to 45,000 sq ft.

Offered for sale or to let, the industrial and warehouse units include fitted offices and yard areas, with on-site amenities including a Marston’s restaurant/pub. This new facility will be joined by two drive through restaurants, new food and non-food retailers and a petrol filling station in the coming months.

Henry Boot Developments recently secured a £6.45m grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to enable delivery of this final phase of Thorne Park.

Vivienne Clements, director of Henry Boot Developments, met with the Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones and Cllr Joe Blackham to commemorate the start on site.

She said: “We are pleased to move forward with speculative development to provide high quality industrial space at Thorne Park. We are seeing an encouraging level of market demand in the scheme and feel confident that the business park will be fully occupied by local and regional businesses very soon.”

Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, said: “It is great to see construction getting underway at Henry Boot Development’s business park scheme at Thorne Park. This development reflects growing confidence in Doncaster’s economy, and this new investment will help us on our drive to fuel further jobs and growth across the borough.”
