£3.5m trade park set for completion early next year
A £3.5m trade park development in Worcestershire is on course for completion early next year.
The Crescent Trade Park in Moons Moat, Redditch is set to create around 75 jobs when it is fully let.
The development will consist of 24,000 sq ft of commercial space, with 70 car parking spaces. It will see two new retail outlets created as well as ten industrial or trade counter units.
The project is being developed by Halesowen-based A&H Construction & Developments and steelwork is already erected on several of the units, which range from 1,485 sq ft to 9,000 sq ft. One 5,850 sq ft property has already been cladded.
There is flexible planning use on the units and all of them have been designed to accommodate mezzanine floors. Occupiers will also have the chance to fit-out prior to formal completion.
MacMullen Associates has helped to bring the development forward, while KWB Industrial and Bromwich Hardy are joint agents on the development. Both are reporting strong interest in the development.
Kenny Allan, of KWB Industrial, said: “There has been a dearth of new, smaller units in Redditch for many years.
“It is refreshing to be able to offer quality space which has the kind of flexibility the occupiers are looking for. This is a great location and that is proving to be a strong pull for potential occupiers.”
David Penn, of Bromwich Hardy, added: “Enquiries are encouraging. Trade counter and industrial units are in high demand across the West Midlands and particularly here in Redditch, where there has been limited development of this nature.”
He said interest from the trade counter sector was likely to be strong.
