Marrtree Developments, advised by Savills and GV&Co as joint agents, has welcomed two new occupiers to Marrtree Business Park, Wakefield, following practical completion earlier this year, as demand continues to build for high-quality industrial space in prime motorway locations.
Completed in February, the nine-unit scheme has already seen two lettings completed and four units now occupied, with businesses actively taking advantage of the opportunity to secure space on the established Calder Park estate. Just five units remain available, offering immediate occupation.
Early occupiers include Abound Aerospace occupying units 1&2 (8,589 sq ft) and Go Off Road letting units 8&9 (8,326 sq ft), both bringing dynamic and growing operations to the scheme. Abound Aerospace specialises in precision engineering and aerospace components, while Go Off Road supplies specialist 4x4 parts and accessories to a national customer base. This highlights the diverse appeal of the development to a range of modern industrial users.
Marrtree Business Park provides high-specification industrial, warehouse and trade counter units, ranging from circa 3,479 sq ft to 13,044 sq ft. The development has been designed to cater to a broad range of occupiers, from small and growing businesses to more established operators seeking well-located regional space.
The units benefit from a strong specification, including 6m eaves height, electrically operated loading doors, secure gated access and on-site solar PV panels, supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability credentials.
The scheme occupies a prime location adjacent to Junction 39 of the M1, ensuring excellent connectivity across Yorkshire and the wider UK motorway network, alongside immediate access to Wakefield city centre.
Located within the highly established Calder Park, occupiers benefit from a thriving business environment alongside a strong mix of national and regional operators including National Highways, OE Electrics, Taylor Wimpey, West Yorkshire Police, and Easy Bathrooms and other retail and leisure offerings further enhancing its appeal as one of Wakefield's premier business destinations.
As the final development plot within the established Calder Park estate, Marrtree Business Park marks the completion of the estate's development, with no further development opportunities remaining once the scheme is fully occupied.
With modern, ready-to-occupy units available immediately, Marrtree Business Park presents an exciting opportunity for businesses seeking high-quality space in a well-connected and established location.
William Marshall, at Marrtree Developments, comments: "The scheme has seen strong early momentum, with occupiers quickly taking advantage of the opportunity to secure high-quality space at Calder Park. With limited availability of new-build industrial units in such a well-connected location, the remaining units offer a fantastic opportunity for businesses looking to grow and establish themselves in a prime setting."
Leona Benfield, Industrial & Logistics at Savills Leeds, comments: "The pace of lettings at Marrtree Business Park reflects the ongoing imbalance between supply and demand in the regional industrial market. Well-specified units in prime, accessible locations remain in short supply, and schemes like this are increasingly being absorbed quickly by a diverse mix of occupiers."
William Woodhall, Industrial & Logistics at GV&Co, comments: "The high quality of Marrtree Business Park has already proven to be a strong draw for occupiers, with four units now successfully let and continued interest in the five remaining available units. The development offers modern, high-quality industrial / trade counter premises in well-established Calder Park, next to Junction 39 of the M1 Motorway."
