Second phase of business park under construction

Construction of  the second phase of a £2m 12,000 sq ft business park in East Yorkshire has begun. 

The Broadhelm Business Park development near the A1079 York road at Pocklington will see the construction of Helmsley Court, a development of eight new business units ranging between 1000 sq ft and 1500 sq ft.

Three of the eight units remain available, as five have already been sold off plan to local occupiers and investors. The units are expected to be ready in November this year.

Edward Harrowsmith from York developer The Helmsley Group said: “Phase 1 at Broadhelm Business Park has been a great success and now offers a Starbucks, a Shell station complete with concessions for major brands like Costa, NISA Today and Subway. Howdens Joinery is now trading from the site and performing well, with Homefit due for completion over the coming weeks.” 

Broadhelm Business Park is a 22-acre development being carried out by The Broadhelm Venture, a joint venture between The Helmsley Group and Broadvale Developments.

The remaining land can accommodate requirements up to 100,000 sq ft on both a leasehold or on a design and build basis, with good interest from national and local occupiers. 

Jonathan Atkinson from Broadvale said: “We’ve seen incredibly high demand for the business units at Pocklington. Supply of modern accommodation for light warehousing and industrial use is really limited across the North, so now we’re finally on site, we expect the remaining three units to be snapped up before construction completes later this year.”
