Towngate Plc welcomes Likewise Floors Limited to £6 million+ Walkden development

Commercial and industrial property specialist, Towngate PLC, has successfully leased three brand new industrial units within its £6 million+ Walkden development. Two of these units have been taken by Likewise Floors Limited, a subsidiary of professional flooring distribution company Likewise Group Plc. The leases follow the recent completion of construction on the site, formerly home to the Lucozade factory.

Likewise Floors Limited has successfully completed a 10-year lease of units 3E and 3F, after signing a pre-let on the combined 18,197 sq ft facility earlier this year.

As well as high-quality specification office accommodation, the units benefit from electrically operated, insulated level access doors, power supplies of up to 100 kVA, haunch heights of 10.31 metres at the front and 7.31 metres at the rear, dedicated car parking spaces, 30-metre yards, floor loading capacities of up to 37.5 kN / sq m, and fully secured, single-point access/egress.

With a range of characteristics that help boost the site’s green credentials, and a ‘very good’ rating from sustainability assessor BREEAM, the new development within the Towngate Business Centre has also been constructed with the environment in mind.

Features include photovoltaic solar panels, thermally efficient cladding, air source heat pump systems, energy efficiency LED lighting, and EV charging points, all of which have helped the development achieve EPC rating ‘A-’, passing significant cost savings onto occupiers.

Tom Lamb, property manager at Towngate Plc, commented: “We are thrilled to have been able to complete the two leases of these brand new industrial / warehouse units so quickly. We look forward to welcoming the Likewise Group to the site, and do not doubt that working out of such a strategic location will be beneficial to the organisation.”

Located off Lester Road, Towngate Business Centre is accessed from Manchester Road West (A6), one mile due west of Walkden. Junction 4 of the M61 motorway also lies within one mile of the premises via the A6, providing immediate access to the north-west motorway network. Situated approximately eight miles northwest of Manchester City Centre and three miles southwest of Bolton, the site boasts advantageous connections to neighbouring towns and cities too.

Now, just three units are available to lease, ranging from 5,450-17,995 sq. ft, with practical completion having taken place on the 27th of August.  Further information: Towngate Business Centre
