Award-winning CPP advise on four industrial property deals in Barnsley

The award-winning Sheffield-based property agency Commercial Property Partners (CPP) has advised on four industrial property deals, totalling 67,500 sq ft, in South Yorkshire.

CPP’s industrial property and logistics team has completed on the lettings at Darton Business Park in Barnsley, a multi-let industrial estate, close to Junction 38 of the M1.

The largest letting was to global buildings products manufacturer Kingspan, who have signed a three-year lease on a 45,000 sq ft unit.

Athena Manufacturing have taken a five-year lease on a 17,000 sq ft unit, while PSR Industrial Flooring have signed a three-year lease for a 3,500 sq ft unit. The final deal involved Just Club Holdings taking Unit 14 at the park.

Ed Norris, a partner specialising in industrial property with CPP, commented: “These four deals are tremendous news for the Barnsley region. The industrial property market in South Yorkshire is now flourishing and the fact the Darton Business Park has attracted four quality tenants graphically underlines this strong occupier demand.”

“These are significant lettings considering the size of buildings and the space on offer. CPP were delighted to play a pivotal role in setting up these deals, which also emphasise the superb location of Darton Business Park, so close to the M1 and to the heart of Yorkshire’s superb motorway network.

David Barrett of Kingspan commented: “This is an important deal for us. The location and the size of the unit were perfect, as we look to expand our operations in Yorkshire and the north of England. We look forward to being part of the success story of Darton Business Park.”

Darton Business Park, which is owned by Shapepart and Spencer Enterprises Company, is located fronting Barnsley Road (A637), approximately 5 miles North West of Barnsley town centre. The estate is accessed via Barnsley Road which in turn provides direct access to Junction 38 of the M1 motorway. Further access to the M1 at Junction 37 is also available.

David Padgett of Shapepart and Spencer Enterprises Company, commented: “We are really pleased with the performance of the estate in the last 6 to 12 months. Ed Norris and CPP have been instrumental in moving the estate on and filling the void space.”

The property comprises a multi-let industrial estate which also provides a detached two 18,000 sq ft storey office block.

The industrial section provides a mix of availability ranging from small starter units to larger distribution sections, from 1,000 sq ft to 60,000 sq ft. Units provide roller shutter access with some units providing both dock level and ground level access.
