Tool and hardware retailer snaps up space at newly completed industrial park
Screwfix is moving into MX Park, an industrial/trade counter park at Monks Cross in York.
The business is taking two units at the 30,000 sq ft MX Park, which has just been completed.
The park features 11 units, ranging from 1,925 sq ft to 3,550 sq ft in size. Following strong interest six more units are under offer leaving three still available. The development by Guildford based Tonsley Investments, will create 40 new jobs.
James Dodwell, of Tonsley Investments, said: “This letting is a testament to the pulling power of our park, both in terms of the quality of the units and its location.
“We hope MX Park will be the first in a pipeline of industrial developments for us, as it represents an exciting addition to our existing portfolio.”
Richard Flanagan, of York property consultancy Flanagan James and Dan Hodge of Leeds-based Ryden, who are advising Tonsley Investments, added: “The outstanding success of MX Park at Monks Cross comes as no surprise.
“There is a shortage in York of well-located, high-quality, industrial/warehouse units such as those being provided at Tonsley’s new business park.
“Monks Cross has been one of the most successful out-of-town developments in North Yorkshire over the past 20 years, with a superb mix of office, industrial, retail and leisure facilities, including the brand-new LNER Community Stadium and the prestigious Monks Cross Retail Park.”
The main contractors were Stainforth Construction, of Baildon in West Yorkshire.
