The former BAS Castings site on Brookhill Road, Pinxton has recently been acquired by George Dutton Trading Limited. The 2.84 acre site comprises a former foundry works with some 45,000 sq ft of dilapidated buildings suitable for redevelopment.
The development sits just 5 minutes from Junction 28 of the M1 motorway with excellent access to major arterial road links including the A38.
George Dutton have recently started the demolition works and within a couple of months the site will be cleared. The initial plans are to develop the site to provide a new industrial/warehouse scheme under the name of Foundry Business Park. The units will be available on a build to suit basis ranging in size from 3,500 sq ft to 40,000 sq ft.
The units will be available to purchase.
Darran Severn from FHP Property Consultants comments:
“We are delighted to be instructed to market Foundry Business Park. It is increasingly difficult to find good quality warehouse units that are available to buy. These opportunities should prove popular with local businesses who are looking to move from rented accommodation into their own. The units will be delivered in shell specification with capped services ready to go and I look forward to speaking with all interested parties.
For further information or to discuss the opportunities at Foundry Business Park, Pinxton, then please contact Darran Severn on 07917 460 031 / darran@fhp.co.uk or Corbin Archer on 07929 716 330 / corbin.archer@fhp.co.uk
Dove Way, Uttoxeter, will see the development of two new industrial and logistics units totalling 139,747ft², all to be delivered before the end of Q2 2024.
Positioned within direct access to the A50 linking to the M6, A38 and M1, Uttoxeter lies in a strategic location in the centre of the country providing excellent access to the north, south, east and west.
Dove Way will offer two new units from 34,455ft2 to 107,822ft2. Each unit will benefit from an excellent specification including a glazed entranceway, 15% roof lights, floor slab load 50Kn/m², concrete delivery yard, 10/12 metre eaves and a mix of level and dock level loading doors. It is anticipated that the units will achieve a BREEAM assessment of Excellent.
Both units will be available to purchase or lease.
Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:-
“What a fantastic opportunity this will be and I am excited to see the units take shape over the next few months. Uttoxeter is an extremely accessible location which lies close to Derby, Stoke on Trent and Burton on Trent with excellent connectivity and labour. We are already in discussions with a couple of parties but we welcome all interest.”
Phil Randle of Salloway Property Consultants comments:-
“It is wonderful to see these state-of-the-art units under construction and we’re very much looking forward to seeing the computer-generated images come to life. We have a long-standing business relationship with PMW Property and like all of their developments because they are to such a high standard, we do not expect them to be on the market for very long.”
Matthew Wrigley of PMW Property comments:-
It’s great to see works finally commencing on site. For PMW Property to be building speculatively in today’s market, shows the confidence that we have in the area and the buildings that we will be delivering.
It’s an area we haven’t built or purchased in previously, but we have property in a lot of the surrounding areas. One of the main advantages to Dove Way are the excellent transport links from Uttoxeter and the surrounding areas.
We are looking forward to the completion of Dove Way in the not too distant future.”
Further information on the scheme will be released throughout the remainder of 2023 but for any industrial or distribution occupier seeking excellent accommodation in the region then please speak to Darran Severn (07917 40031 / darran@fhp.co.uk) or Tim Gilbertson (07887 787893 / tim@fhp.co.uk) at FHP Property Consultants and Phil Randle of Salloway (07970 293740 / phil@salloway.com).

On behalf of private clients, Unit 7 Stretton Business Park, Brunel Drive, Burton upon Trent has been let on a new 5 year deal.

Pentagon House is a high profile modern office building located in central Derby. The offices are situated in a highly prominent position just off the A52 at Pentagon Island, fronting both Sir Frank Whittle Road and Stores Road. The A52 and A61 provide excellent access around the city, the M1 and Junction 25 and the A38.
The building itself comprises an impressive four storey property extending to approximately 30,000ft² and provides newly refurbished office accommodation with a modern reception and excellent parking.
During the past twelve months, there has been excellent take up within the building, with some 21,500ft2 being let. This comprises three key deals, the most recent completing in July, where 12,674ft² has been let. Not only is this one the largest lettings in Derby this year, but we have also seen a rental uplift of 10% to a headline figure £15.50 per ft2.
Mark Roberts of Loxton Developments who own the building comments:
“Some 24 months ago we were hit by a number of lease expiries which coincided with the pandemic resulting in large voids at Pentagon House. It was time to invest in the building and we have not only refurbished all the vacant suites to a high level but we have also invested in the building installing new atrium glazing and EV charging points for our tenants. I am pleased to welcome our new tenants to the building and I wish them every success.”
Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:
“There has been good office demand in Derby throughout the first half of 2023 which is evident by the success at Pentagon House. The majority of space within in the city is being let to existing Derby businesses who are either downsizing, upsizing or generally looking to improve the quality of their space.”
Nick Hosking of Innes England comments:
“Pentagon House has held a long standing reputation of offering the best quality multi-let office accommodation within Derby and it’s been pleasing to see that the recent capital investment into the building has re-enforced this position. The recent lettings have highlighted the continued demand for premium quality office space and we expect to see continued healthy demand for the remaining suites going forward.”
If you are currently seeking office space in Derby, there are a couple of suites remaining at Pentagon House ranging in size from 3,747ft² to 8,592ft².

On behalf of private clients, FHP Property Consultants are pleased to bring to the market a rare freehold opportunity at Primrose Business Park, Whites Lane, Blackwell, Derbyshire, DE55 5GZ.

The freehold is available with vacant possession at a guide price of £625,000.
Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants commented:
“This is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial site close to the M1 Motorway (J28). The buildings in situ offer a good mix of office and industrial accommodation benefiting from large areas of hard standing land. The site has most recently been used for storage of plant and machinery but could suit a variety of uses. I suspect the majority of enquiries will be from local businesses looking to occupy the site themselves, however the site could lend its self to redevelopment. I look forward to speaking with any interested parties.”

Castle Donington is a proven industrial and logistics location benefiting from not only East Midlands Airport but also excellent road connectivity via the A50 and M1 Motorway. There has been a continued demand for industrial/warehouse premises in this location over the past 10 – 15 years. To satisfy this demand, there is an excellent mix of new and existing buildings catering for manufacturing, production, storage and distribution businesses.
The most recent developments are very much dominated by large distribution warehouses accommodating the rapid growth in e-commerce that we have witnessed over the past 18 to 24 months. A prime example of this is at East Midlands Distribution Centre where we have seen two speculatively units built, which completed towards the end of last year. Both units are immediately available to lease and provide 189,573ft2 and 279,418ft2 of modern warehouse accommodation, benefiting from level access and dock level doors, 15m eaves and 50m yard depth. The units are extremely well positioned with immediate access to the new Castle Donington relief road.
To accommodate smaller requirements, we are pleased to see the development of Stud Brook Business Park, which will provide a range of BREEAM industrial/warehouse units ranging in size from 8,000ft2 to 30,000ft2. The groundworks are well underway and we anticipate the units will be available for occupation towards the end of the year. Each unit will provide a high specification including 8m eaves height, level loading roller shutter doors, glazed entrance and a highly efficient EPC rating. They will be available on new lease terms and we are already in ongoing discussions with several businesses looking to take space here.
In terms of existing units, we have a couple of smaller units available at Air Cargo Centre which is within close proximity of East Midlands Airport on Argosy Road. These range in size from 3,706ft2 to 5,612ft2 and are available to lease. Both units are within walking distance of the Cargo Terminal and offer modern warehouse space. If you are looking for a unit with a secure self-contained yard, we have an excellent opportunity which is situated on Trent Lane. This property extends to 22,992ft² and is sat on a site of 1.64 acres.
Whilst we faced a period of uncertainty towards the last quarter of 2022 due to economic uncertainty, the industrial and logistics sector is pleasingly performing better than expected so far this year not just in Castle Donington, but also across the wider East Midlands.
For further information on the availability of any of these properties, to arrange any viewings, or simply to discuss your businesses property requirements, then please contact Darran Severn on 07917 460 031 or darran@fhp.co.uk.
