Five high-specification detached units ranging from 10,900 sq ft to 52,500 sq ft, each with their own secure self-contained yards, are being built. All units are being developed speculatively, are available to let and are suitable for a wide range of industrial and distribution business uses. All the units are highly sustainable being constructed to BREEAM very good rating with superfast broadband connections and car charging points as standard.

The development is being delivered speculatively by Network Space in partnership with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council along with Sheffield City Region and its Jessica Fund from which it has received a loan of £6.13m to accelerate the delivery of the scheme.

Simon Peters, development director at Network Space, said: “Breaking ground at the site was a great moment for all parties and a clear demonstration of our confidence in the buoyancy of the region’s economy”.
