£2m construction project continues in Pocklington as firms swoop for space

Construction work on phase two of the Broadhelm Business Park development in East Yorkshire is now underway.

Just three units remain available off plan at the £2m scheme, located in Pocklington.

The project will create Helmsley Court, a new 12,000 sq ft complex housing eight business units of between 1000 sq ft and 1500 sq ft.

Local occupiers and investors have already acquired five of the units, which will be ready in November.

York-based developer The Helmsley Group is one of the companies behind the scheme.

Helmsley’s Edward Harrowsmith said: “Phase 1 at Broadhelm Business Park has been a great success and now offers a Starbucks, a Shell station complete with concessions for major brands like Costa, NISA Today and Subway.

“Howdens Joinery is now trading from the site and performing well, with Homefit due for completion over the coming weeks.”

The Helmsley Group is delivering the 22-acre Broadhelm Business Park in a joint venture with Broadvale Developments, called The Broadhelm Venture.

The site’s remaining land can accommodate requirements up to 100,000 sq ft, on either a leasehold or design-and-build basis.

Jonathan Atkinson, of Broadvale, commented: “We’ve seen incredibly high demand for the business units at Pocklington.

“Supply of modern accommodation for light warehousing and industrial use is really limited across the North, so now we’re finally on site, we expect the remaining three units to be snapped up before construction completes later this year.”

The team behind the development includes DSP Architects (lead designer), Aspect 4 (project manager and quantity surveyor) and Evora Construction (main contractor), all York based.

Gent Visick and Procters Commercial are the appointed selling agents.
