Commercial development plot let to storage yard company

Harris Lamb’s Agency team has leased a commercial development plot in Birmingham to a company specialising in ready-to-use storage yards.

Plot B of Tameside Business Park in Perry Barr has been leased to Philips Yards Birmingham, a franchisee of getYards, a concept designed to help SMEs rent storage yards quickly.

The 1.79-acre self-contained open storage yard features a secure, gated palisade fence perimeter and a modern portacabin-style office building. The business has secured the plot on a 10-year lease with a five-year break clause.

Thomas Morley, who oversaw the deal, said: “getYards is a very new concept which provides ready-to-move-into commercial storage yards. The franchisee will divide the land parcel up into separate area which a customer can reserve and pay for a getYards yard in under 60 seconds with a legally binding contact, as well as taking occupation the same day.

“This particular site was ideal for such an opportunity due to its established commercial location, and its surfaced, serviced, floodlit and secure credentials ensuring that the business can offer its tenants its standard 24/7 security, electric gates, pin code access, individual electric/water points offering, in addition to  options of supplying containers, offices or CCTV into individual yards. We are delighted to have secured this exciting new occupier and wish them every success in rolling out the concept within the region.”
