Fairham Business Park developers celebrate another practical completion as Unit A is handed over to the occupier.    

Works begun at Plot A4, Fairham Business Park back in October 2023, nine months later the 100,000 sq. ft unit has been built by lead contractor, TanRo and handed over to the occupier.

The unit is neatly located next to the stand-alone units totalling 260,000 sq. ft purchased by international property investment and asset management company Hines and a 100,600 sq. ft bespoke building for a local company who will be moving into their premises next year.

The brand-new purpose-built premises comprises of a 95,379 sq. ft warehouse with 12,292 sq. ft office and welfare space over three storeys, situated at the front of the building. There are 84 car parking spaces at the front of property with ten electric vehicle (EV) charging bays. There will also be a large service yard to the rear with ten dock levellers and four level access to meet the needs of the occupier. Clowes will be providing a fully photovoltaic (PV) ready frame.

James Richards, Director at Clowes Developments commented on the completion:

“Nine months after works began on site and we’re now handing over to our client, who will be formally identified in the next few weeks. It’s testament to our professional delivery team who can perform to such a high standard and according to a tight schedule. It is fantastic to see the ongoing development of Fairham Business Park, as one completes, another ramps up on plot A2.“

As the occupiers of A2 sign the deal for a bespoke 100,600sq ft unit, ground works have already been concluded and steel frames are due to be erected in the coming weeks. In total, this will mean over 600,000sq ft of industrial, warehouse, distribution and manufacturing space has been snapped up at Fairham Business Park, with further announcements expected in due course.

Tim Gilbertson, Director at FHP Property Consultants added:

“High demand for commercial units at Fairham says something about the transport links of Fairham Business Park and it’s positioning outside of Nottingham’s workplace parking levy. We are excited to market phase two of the business park, where potential occupiers can make use of more varied commercial opportunities such as office, trade counter or retail schemes.”

With well over half of the site now under offer or sold, there remains opportunities for build to suit facilities on the prominent site adjoining the A453 and outside of Nottingham’s Workplace Parking Levy. The next phase of the development will see not just manufacturing and distribution space available but also space suitable for offices, a hotel, leisure facilities and other conveniences including roadside retail and trade counters. Fairham Business Park offers a unique opportunity for Nottingham businesses to expand, harvest investment and nurture local talent.

The business park has excellent transport links into the city of Nottingham including fully accessible cycle routes and walkways. Fairham Business Park is within easy reach of Junction 24 of the M1, East Midlands Airport and adjoining the NET Tram Park & Ride site, with further transport improvements expected. Fairham Business Park offers the perfect location for conducting business and harnessing local talent.

One of the country’s leading supply chain solution providers Excor Services, part of Park Logistics Group, has acquired a new warehouse property in Nottingham to service their ongoing expansion requirements.

The deal agreed between agents FHP and Innes England saw the acquisition of the brand new 26,409 sq ft facility with a large secure yard at the Teal Park scheme, which provides a 20 unit warehouse and trade park scheme totalling 160,000 sq ft owned by national investors, Northwood Urban Logistics.

Teal Park is located at the intersection between Stoke Lane and Colwick Loop Road. It is strategically situated to benefit from the new £40m Gedling Access Road opened in 2022, as well as being only four miles from Nottingham City Centre. Directly adjacent to the industrial park is Bardolph View, a housing development from Persimmon Homes with 700 new units nearby, with more amenities such as a new Aldi supermarket, a primary school and other retail café and restaurant amenities.

Iain Taylor, director at Northwood Urban Logistics, said:

“’We are very pleased to welcome our latest occupier to Teal Park demonstrating that it is appealing to a wide range of occupiers who will be able to adapt the units for a variety of uses.”

Mark Tomlinson, director at FHP who acted on behalf of Northwood commented:

“It is great to welcome another good quality Tenant to the scheme. There are very few units which offer such good quality space around the City and there are now only 4 units remaining of this 20 unit development. The remaining warehouse units are of a very high quality on large secure fenced plots with substantial yard depths. There are just 2 trade units remaining sitting alongside established occupiers which as Screwfix, Howdens, Toolstation, Paintwell and Karcher.”

Craig Straw, director at Innes England, who acted on behalf of the Tenant commented:

“We have advised Park Logistics for many years and are delighted to have assisted Excor Services in their latest acquisition.  Securing a Grade A warehouse close to their existing base at Colwick was key so Teal Park offered the perfect solution.”

Acting on behalf of longstanding clients, Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants is pleased to confirm the letting of substantial well-presented warehouse space at Sherwood Park just off Junction 27 of the M1 motorway.

In this latest letting on the park, a long lease has been agreed to expanding local occupier Staytite, who have taken over 30,000ft² of top quality accommodation all set on a large site.

Tim Gilbertson, Director of FHP commented:

“Once again it has been a pleasure acting on behalf of our longstanding clients to dispose of another unit for them here, this is the latest in a number of lettings we have undertaken over the last few years and it has been a pleasure once more to act on their behalf.

Equally, it has been enjoyable to work with Staytite and see their expansion and relocation from slightly further north taking benefit of this excellent building which sits adjoining the M1 motorway.

In a market where demand remains healthy, supply levels are really dropping now but we continue to see disposals happen in this mid-range sector, and this latest letting of 30,000ft² takes more space from our market so I applaud Staytite in securing this building so quickly.

From our client’s perspective, it’s been a great deal as not only have we given them a new occupier but also done so in double quick time leaving virtually no void period between the departure of the former tenant and the arrival of the new one.

My best wishes to both parties and I’d be delighted to speak to clients both old and new for any industrial or distribution space that they have coming available in the East Midlands as we continue to experience decent levels of demand and very limited supply in all locations and sectors.”

Andrew Black, Managing Director of Staytite commented:

“This fantastic facility quadruples our previous storage capability and will allow Staytite to expand in line with the needs of our manufacturing and rail customers.  Its strategic location offers swift delivery of expertise to the Midlands and North of England, ensuring we meet our clients’ demands with enhanced efficiency and reduced lead times.”

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“If you have space in the East Midlands and need help with disposing of it be that for sale or let then I would be delighted to chat through and either myself or one of our team would equally be delighted to assist.”

FHP are delighted to have finalised on the remaining two units in Beeston.  Situated on Evelyn Street Industrial Estate, a popular location approximately 4.1 miles Southwest of Nottingham City Centre, benefitting from excellent transport links with the NET Tram Route and Beeston Railway Station nearby.  Both units comprised circa 5,500ft² of clear span warehouse / industrial space benefitting from office and ancillary areas.

In order to achieve an attractive rental figure and set a new headline rent throughout Evelyn Street Industrial Estate, our client carried out a refurbishment on all three remaining units to secure an attractive rental of £8.00 per ft², a great tone to set going forward on this scheme.  Initial interest in the units was slower than anticipated, although over time it was evident that the desire and need for circa 5,000ft² units had shifted and increased, generating a number of enquiries leading to several offers brought forward on both units.

Mission Room Ltd and Vaunt Design Ltd are the latest occupiers to secure a unit on Evelyn Street, with a further deal being agreed by our joint agents CPP, Sean Bremner for Unit 37.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was a great result to get both of these deals over the line for our client.  After a slow start with interest, it was certainly challenging, but this quickly changed with an increase in enquiries and all three units going under offer within two months of each other. Securing a new headline rent for the site was also a positive for our client and further highlights the industrial market rental tones rising due to limited stock availability. Secondary industrial units of this size bracket are achieving £8.00 to £8.50 per ft², it is evident there is limited availability of units within this size range as demand still continues to be on the rise.

Both Vaunt Design Ltd and Mission Room Ltd worked with our client from initial discussions and developed a landlord-tenant relationship which is key to driving deals across the line. It was a delight to work alongside both tenants and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Sean Bremner, Director at CPP commented:

“Great to see Evelyn Street back to 100% occupancy.  Working alongside FHP, we advised our clients on the essential refurbishment works and they have been rewarded for their investment.  Enquiry levels got stronger with multiple parties pressing to secure the final unit, reinforcing the growth in the rental tone.   A fantastic result for the estate.”

As highlighted above, we continue to see a strong level of enquiries within the 4,000ft² to 6,000ft² range of industrial units.  If you currently own an industrial unit and are exploring the possibility of generating some income, please feel free to give me a call to discuss this in further depth on 07887 787 894 or alternatively, you can email me at amy.howard@fhp.co.uk.

It will complete Dove Valley Park, forming the eastern part of the major 200 acre employment site on the A50 in South Derbyshire that is home to occupiers including JCB, Top Hat, Futaba Ltd and GXO.

The application site could be brought forward for development immediately as the existing infrastructure of Dove Valley Park is already in place to extend into the site.

If approved, the plans will see the 35.29 acre site developed to create circa 54,500m² of employment space for B2, B8, with ancillary E(g) use. Four units of varying sizes will be created to meet market demand for quality industrial space, along with the necessary associated hard and soft landscaping, car parking and infrastructure.

In addition, a new Innovation Centre will be created that will serve as a central hub for all businesses in the local vicinity. The aim is to draw people together and provide spaces for gatherings, along with informal meeting space and access to external areas. The Innovation Centre will also serve as a space for start-up businesses to begin and has been developed in consultation with The University of Derby.

To enable people from the surrounding areas to access the site, a new bus route will be created to serve Dove Valley Park and the timings of the existing bus route will be altered to reflect occupier’s shift patterns.

The proposals exceed biodiversity net gain requirements and will feature a 40 metre wide landscape buffer to the east which will screen the development from view. The buffer will also incorporate a new public footpath.

Commenting on the plans, Marc Freeman Director at Clowes Developments said:

“There is significant demand across the East Midlands for industrial space and our plans for the completion of Dove Valley Park will deliver high quality units for businesses in South Derbyshire. Since its inception in the 1990s Dove Valley Park has thrived and brought economic benefits to the area, so we are excited about the prospect of completing the site and creating hundreds of new jobs for local people.”

The plans we have created with Clowes Developments will ensure it is a quality site that will appeal to occupiers that will view Derbyshire as the long term home for their business, providing sustainable long term employment.

There is still a continued demand for freehold industrial/warehouse units across the region and we are speaking with a number of businesses and investors who have cash funds available once the right property is available.  As a result, capital values remain strong and transactions that are under offer are completing.”

Wingfield View Business Park is a new industrial estate in Clay Cross, Derbyshire.  It comprises 19 industrial/warehouse units totalling just over 60,000ft².  The business park is being built by Roe Developments who have completed several projects in Clay Cross to date.

The development benefits from good connectivity and is easily accessed via the A6175 dual carriageway, linking to Junction 29 of the M1 motorway within a 10-minute drive. The industrial/warehouse units range in size from 2,091ft² to 12,062ft² and are available to purchase or to lease.  Further to that, each unit has been built to an exceptional quality and boasts an impressive specification.

FHP Property Consultants have been working alongside joint agents, Knight Frank, and are pleased to confirm that all units are now under offer with 50% having already exchanged contracts.  The units will be ready for occupation in July 2024.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“This has been an extremely successful development and one which has been a pleasure to work on.  The size of units delivered is exactly what the local market requires, and consequently the majority of these units are going to local businesses.  There has been a continued demand for units up to 10,000ft² particularly on a freehold basis and the flexibility here has been key to getting all the units under offer.”     

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“It has been a delight to work alongside my client in letting out these high quality industrial/warehouse units.  With businesses starting to be more wary about taking on a new unit, it has been a pleasure to work with all the tenants and purchasers in taking on these units.  I wish every business success in the future.”

The industrial estate comprises a variety of buildings and most recently three new units were constructed comprising 36,000ft² of new industrial/warehouse accommodation.

We are pleased to confirm that all three units are now let following the latest letting which completed at the start of May 2024.  The lettings were concluded by joint agents FHP Property Consultants and Geo Hallam & Sons.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“This has been an excellent result for our clients who have invested heavily to deliver these new units.  Pleasingly the scheme has been a success, with  first being let prior to practical completion and the remaining units let within 6 months after practical completion.  Due to the success of this phase of development, our clients are looking to press ahead with Phase 2 which will deliver units from 3,000ft² to 6,000ft² and further details will be released in due course.”

Giles Davis, of Geo Hallam commented:

“From the outset there has been a lot of occupier interest in these new buildings which were constructed speculatively by our clients. There is pent up demand there which bodes well for future phases where a range of sizes will be offered which will attract interest from a wider range of occupiers.”

The location provides excellent access to the regional centres of Nottingham and Derby and the wider UK being just 3 miles from Junction 25 of the M1 Motorway. The property itself is a bespoke build as it has been extensively fitted out with two-storey offices and a small storage/ workshop space.

The price achieved breaks down to £104 per ft² achieving an excellent result for our client. We placed the property under offer within two weeks of marketing showing the strong demand for freehold commercial properties of this
size as owner occupiers are still struggling to find buildings that are available to purchase.

Corbin Archer from FHP Property Consultants comments;

‘’I am pleased to have sold 1 Goshawk Road on behalf of a longstanding client of ours. Having received strong interest from the start we were able to place the property under offer in two weeks of marketing showing how strong the demand is for properties in this location and of this size. Even after placing the property under offer, I was still getting constant calls from owner occupiers/ investors wanting to purchase the property as there is such little available in the current market for sale.

Paul Atkins has been a client of FHP’s for over twenty years and it was great to work with him for the first time selling this property for him.’’

“Having recently completed the sale of this property with FHP, Corbin Archer was my contact throughout. He did a brilliant job and stayed focused on progressing the sale and keeping me informed. I have had a professional relationship with FHP Property Consultants for over twenty years and look forward to working with them at some point in the future.”
