£1.3m contract awarded as business park’s second phase begins
INFRASTRUCTURE work including access roads and drainage has got underway on phase two of one of the north’s most sustainable business park.
Hull-based developer Wykeland Group has instructed Melton contractor CR Reynolds to prepare the site for the second stage of Bridgehead in a contract worth £1.3m, after successfully completing the infrastructure works on phase one.
Developed by the Wykeland Group, the first phase of Bridgehead lies on the north side of the A15 in the northern approach road up to the Humber Bridge, and is now home to companies including the John Good Group, Beal Homes and Victoria Plum.
The second phase of the development will be built on the south side of the road and will mirror the architectural style and parkland environment of the first.
Bridgehead’s landscape strategy has been developed in association with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to ensure bio-diversity on the site increases as a result of the development work.
The buildings employ renewable energy technologies including biomass boilers, solar PV panels, a natural ventilation and free night air cooling systems and daylight dimming lights.
Chris Reynolds, managing director of CR Reynolds, said: “After successfully completing the infrastructure work for phase one of Bridgehead, we have now started infrastructure work on the second phase of the development.
“We are delighted to be working with the Wykeland Group again, in a partnership history that goes back some 30 years.”
Grant Edmondson, property director at Wykeland, added: “We have decided to bring phase two forward because demand has been so high with phase one and there has already been a lot of interest. We’re confident phase two will be equally successful.”
More than 150,000 sq ft of grade A office and other commercial space has already been created at phase one of Bridgehead. When the whole scheme is completed the development will total 612,000 sq ft.
