New ‘state-of-the-art’ Sheffield Business Park announces construction milestone

Construction work is well underway at a new 33,600 sq ft industrial unit at Sheffield Business Park.

The steelwork frame and roof have now been completed on the ‘state of the art’ Unit T1 Sheffield Business Park development by Gregory Properties, with work on track for completion by contractors BDB Design Build, The Harris Partnership and RPP Group for January 2024.

Detached Unit T1, on Europa Link, features 30,500 sq ft of industrial/warehouse space with a 3,100 sq ft fitted office mezzanine and sits on the well-established 200-acre Sheffield Business Park development near Junctions 33 and 34 of the M1, North of Sheffield.

Sheffield Business Park falls into the newly announced South Yorkshire UK Investment Zone and Unit T1 is one of the first new builds in the zone, since the incentive was announced by the Government earlier this year. Current occupiers on the park include SIG Group, South Yorkshire Police, Gleesons, TNS, Primetals and Hart Shaw.

Harry Orwin-Allen, senior surveyor at Knight Frank in Sheffield which is marketing Unit T1 Sheffield Business Park for sale or to let, commented: “Construction is progressing well on site ahead of completion early next year.

“Unit T1 is located on an established business park, home to a mixture of office and industrial and manufacturing occupiers including Siemens, SIG Group, Gleeson, and the University of Sheffield.

“It also sits within the heart of the Advanced Manufacturing & Innovation District (AMID) that has seen substantial investment from occupiers including Boeing, Rolls-Royce and McLaren. As well as prestigious neighbours, the unit is in a prime location with a profile position fronting Europa Link, J33 M1 with easy access nationwide.”

Unit T1 will have strong environmental credentials with a EPC rating A, minimum BREEAM Very Good rating, offer 9m to eaves with three ground level loading doors, LED office lighting enhanced landscaping and car parking for 34 vehicles, secure covered cycle shelter, and gated service yard with security lighting, EV charging and rooftop solar PV.

Gregory Properties acquired the two-acre vacant site on Europa Link, the main road running through the popular estate, from Sheffield Business Park Ltd in May 2022.

Nick Gillott, Development Director at Gregory Properties, added: “High specification, good yard provision, location, strong environmental credentials all make this a desirable unit for industrial, logistics and distribution use and we look forward to welcoming a new occupier ahead of completion in the early part of 2024.”
