A £3.3 million expansion of a long-established business park close to York’s Outer Ring Road has completed with the construction of three new high-specification industrial units.
The development at Northminster Business Park has seen three former agricultural buildings transformed into new and detached industrial and warehouse units, which range in size from 6,032 sq ft to 8,093 sq ft, in a self-contained area of the site known as Cropton Court.
The buildings are available to buy or let and are being jointly marketed by property consultancy practices GV&Co and PPH Commercial. One unit has been sold, with another unit currently under offer. They have been built by local contractor, Elvington Park Building Services with York’s LHL Group project managing construction.
Each unit incorporates the latest energy efficient technology, which includes solar panels, translucent roof lights, high bay LED lighting and EV charging points, which ensures they all have the highest possible A-rated energy performance certificate (EPC). They also benefit from good sized yards and loading areas, as well as generous dedicated parking.
Northminster Business Park is already home to more than 50 businesses, with approximately 1,000 employees. In addition to its warehouses, distribution and industrial units, the site also offers office and laboratory space, as well as research and development facilities.
George Burgess, managing director at Northminster Properties, which owns the site, said: “We’ve specifically designed these buildings to appeal to ambitious businesses that require high specification and quality space, along with exceptional sustainability credentials, in a secure environment.”
“This all makes Cropton Court another exciting development at Northminster Business Park and we’re looking forward to welcoming more businesses into our thriving community.”
Paul Mack, a director at GV&Co, said: “Northminster Business Park is one of York’s most sought after addresses for businesses looking for highly quality commercial space in a very convenient location. It’s within easy walking distance of both Poppleton Park & Ride and Poppleton Railway Station, and it’s less than four miles west of York city centre, and just a short drive from both the A59 and A64, which both connect to the A1(M).
“Crucially, it also offers 24/7 unrestricted access in a gated and secure environment, with CCTV, number plate recognition and overnight manned security. There are very few brand-new industrial units available in York that can offer all this, alongside such high sustainability credentials and the flexibility to buy or let, so we’re already experiencing strong levels of interest and expect the final remaining unit to be snapped up promptly.”
