Property firm announces big plans for recently acquired enterprise park

Chorley-based property firm Northern Trust is to convert a recent Liverpool acquisition into a trade park.

Last December the company acquired Maritime Enterprise Park in Bootle, a 70,222 sq ft multi-let industrial estate comprising 21 units split into four separate blocks.

Work is now under way to convert the estate into a trade park.

The vacant units 21 & 22 will benefit from a new glazed trade counter frontage with roller shutter, new personnel doors, external redecoration and internal refurbishment incorporating LED low bay lights to the warehouse.

Nick Hemmings, management surveyor at Whittle Jones, Northern Trust’s in-house management company, said: “The estate is prominently situated off the A565, one of the main arterial roads into Liverpool, and is ideal for trade counter businesses looking to relocate to the area.

“We are confident that the investment in the scheme, alongside its rebranding, will attract trade counter operators looking to relocate to the area.”

Liverpool city centre is only 2.5 miles away and the site is close to Liverpool Freeport and docks and the M58/M57 is easily accessible five miles away.

The estate also benefits from 24-hour secure estate access, and CCTV on site.

Mark Coulthurst, from Mason Owen, joint agents on the scheme, added: “There is a real shortage of units of this type and size in the North Liverpool area and we believe the availability at Maritime Trade Park will go some way towards satisfying the current market demand.

“We are confident that we will be able to generate strong interest in them once fully refurbished, and particularly as we can offer a range of sizes from 3,000–11,400 sq ft approximately.”

Joint lettings agents are Whittle Jones North West, Mason Owen, and Eddisons.
