Household names take on space at newly completed industrial site

Aver, a joint venture between NFU Mutual and Ergo Real Estate, has let 87% of the floor area at Ergo Park, Sheffield to tenants including Argos/Sainsburys, Tesla and the world’s largest package delivery company.

The development which reached practical completion at the end of October 2022, spans 11 acres and totals 191,500 sq ft of industrial logistics space.

It is adjacent to the Drakehouse and Crystal Peaks Retail Parks in Waterthorpe Sheffield. The scheme has been delivered by Total Developments.

Ergo Park is the latest in a number of warehouse developments by Aver taking its total portfolio to over 1.1 million sq ft.

Leigh Burnett, asset manager, Ergo Real Estate said: “Our JV with NFU Mutual has resulted in the delivery of ‘best in class’ in the logistics sector, which is evident in the high calibre of tenants we have attracted to Ergo Park prior to
Practical Completion.”

Rebecca Schofield, head of the Yorkshire industrial team at Knight Frank, which acted with M1 Agency to let the units, said: “This is an impressive take up with three units taken and one left demonstrating the demand for this type of build and accommodation in the region.

“Occupiers are drawn by the easy access to the motorway and Sheffield city centre but also the great local amenities and public transport links.”
