Business park benefits from six-figure programme of refurbishment
A refurbishment programme at an established Doncaster business park is nearing completion.
Investors ESKMUIR bought Wheatley Hall Trade Park and unveiled an improvement plan for the 12-trade counter park over three main terraces on the three acre site.
Three warehouse units from 2,900 to 5,166 sq ft are currently available to let having undergone extensive improvements to include redecoration plus new flooring, lighting and washroom facilities.
John Jarman from Knight Frank in Sheffield, which is marketing the units alongside Montagu Evans, said: “Demand for trade units within the region, and in particular Doncaster, remains strong as occupiers look for units within main centres with growing populations.
“This 50,000 sq ft trade park on Wheatley Hall Road is in an excellent location on a busy arterial road.
“It is adjacent to the 250,000 sq ft Wheatley Retail Park with occupiers including M&S, TK Maxx, Boots, Sports Direct, Next, ASDA and Argos.
“It is also near Wheatley Trade Business Centre which houses tenants such as Screwfix and Toolstation and opposite a planned 600 home development, 161 of which are currently under construction.”
Constructed in the early 2000s, current occupiers at Wheatley Hall include Graham, Topps Tiles, Formula One Autocentres, Electric Centre and Edmundson Electrical.
The brownfield land opposite the trade estate is called Riverdale Park, a 122 acre site with planning consent for 600 homes and 200,000 sq ft of employment space and roadside retail. Barratt Homes is currently on site building 161 homes.
