Property investor snaps up former Moore Large premises

The former premises of failed bike distributor Moore Large has been bought by property company Hortons’ Estate.

The 207,000 sq ft site is at Sinfin Commercial Park, an industrial and logistics estate near the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus.

The unit comprises office, production, showroom, and storage and distribution facilities. It is available for immediate occupation, with Hortons considering short-term flexible lease options at £2.50 per sq ft.

Hortons already owns and manages 21 fully-occupied warehouse units at Sinfin Commercial Park, which it purchased in a multimillion-pound deal in 2023. The latest acquisition increases Hortons’ ownership to more than 30 acres, of which the company is exploring options to let or develop eight acres of open storage and development land.

Jeremy Boothroyd of Hortons, said: “We are very pleased to have completed the strategic acquisition of this substantial industrial/warehouse unit. The deal not only reaffirms our commitment to Sinfin Commercial Park but gives us the opportunity to remodel parts of the estate that have significant potential. We look forward to adding a new tenant to what is already a strong list of established occupiers.”

Carter Jonas and Innes England are joint agents on the property.
