A string of lettings totalling over 19,000 sq ft have been concluded at the Bankfield Business Park in Mirfield on units ranging between 625 sq ft and 5,500 sq ft off asking rents from £1.75 per sq ft.
The former Joseph Barraclough site is now owned by Wharfedale Finance Company which has carried out extensive refurbishments since acquiring the site in 2007 to create a range of different sized workshops, warehouses, storage units and secure compounds.
There are still units available ranging from 330 sq ft to more than 50,000 sq ft on the site.
The Huddersfield office of chartered surveyors Eddisons acted on the deals. Hanson Chartered Surveyors acted as joint agents.
Meanwhile, the last remaining industrial/warehouse unit at Fieldhouse Business Park, off Leeds Road, which extends to 9,944 sq ft has been let to T.A.P.S. off an asking rent of £57,000 per year, on the instructions of MB Services.

The units are of a high quality and benefit from excellent road links which contributes to their appeal.”
