Work begins on new 16-acre industrial development

Work has now commenced on a 16-acre industrial development located just outside of Leeds city centre.

Known as Total Park, the site will comprise a series of industrial warehouse units that range in size from 6,700 sq ft up to 105,000 sq ft.

Located  to the east of Leeds in the Aire Valley on Pontefract Lane, the new industrial park is Total Developments’ first major scheme in Yorkshire following a number of developments in the North West.

Total Developments acquired the site last summer from Keyland Developments Ltd.

The first of the seven units will be ready to occupy early next year, and are being marketed jointly by property consultancy Gent Visick and M1 Agency.

Daniel Walker from Gent Visick, said: “After successfully generating a vast amount of interest in this site last year and overseeing its prompt sale, we’re delighted to have been appointed to market these prime units.

“The development is in a sought-after location, offering easy access to Leeds city centre and to the M1 and M62 motorways. The units will be of a high specification with secure yards, eaves heights up to 12 metres, office space, three-phase electricity and prominence to the A63. As a result, we’re anticipating strong demand in a market where there is little competing accommodation available.”

Andy Hall from M1 Agency, added: “Total Park is now one of the most strategically linked development opportunities in the region, and in recent weeks we’ve positioned a number of boards with large question marks around the site, which has driven vast amounts of interest in it, so it’s great the groundworks are underway, and we can start talking to potential occupiers.”

Ed Chantler, director of Total Developments, also said: “We are delighted to now be on-site with Total Park. We are looking forward to delivering well specified units to meet the high levels of demand we are currently experiencing in the Yorkshire market.”
