Supplier has a spring in its step as it takes on 65,000 sq ft
DEVELOPERS have sold a 65,000 sq ft warehouse and office development at the Summit 24 Business Park in Huddersfield in a pre-sale deal.
Stirling Scotfield, advised by Knight Frank, have agreed to sell the site to UK spring suppliers Lesjofors Springs for an undisclosed sum.
Marshall Construction of Elland are set to complete the 65,000 sq ft site in spring 2017.
The company will move their 25 staff from their current premises at Lowfields Business Park in Elland.
Robert Glynn of Lesjofors said: “We are moving to Summit 24 because we need the extra space. The 65,000 sq ft unit is designed to our specification and perfect for our needs, plus there is potential to add a further 15,000 within the site should we need to.
“We also felt it was time, due to the company’s on-going success, to buy our own premises rather than lease.
“In addition, the business park is exceptionally well-located, close to the M62 and Yorkshire’s excellent motorway network. We’ve also got a dedicated entrance, providing privacy and security,” said Mr Glynn.
Jonathan Hyland, partner at Knight Frank in Leeds, said that the development provided a “rare opportunity for occupiers seeking premises in West Yorkshire.”
“There is a real shortage of modern and new industrial property across the region at present; conversely we are experiencing good levels of enquiries for new premises as companies look to expand and invest in their operations,” he added.
