Allenby starts final phase of 30-year Priory Park project

Work has begun and a tenant is secured for the last plot of the 150-acre industrial site in Hull, which started life as a joint venture between Henry Boot Development and Network Rail in the early 1990s.

Allenby Commercial is developing design and build options from 5,000 to 50,000 sq ft at The Point, with a 14,000 sq ft unit due for completion in the coming months.

An occupier has been found for 7,000 sq ft of the building.

The family business bought the land for The Point in 2016, after HBD launched the final phase of Priory Park in 2013.

Development director Charlie Allenby said: “We’ve gone for a modern, European design with Scandinavian style landscaping and solar panels on the roof contributing to an EPC A rating – quite a contrast from the old days when Priory Park was full of railway sidings!

“The new tenant is relocating from elsewhere in East Yorkshire and has been looking for premises to match its own profile as a young, creative business.

“We’re confident their arrival will generate interest from other businesses in the remaining 7,000 sq ft and in the wider 6.5-acre site.”

Jordan Stokes, surveyor at PPH Commercial Chartered Surveyors and Commercial Property Consultants, said: “This is the last available development space at Priory Park.

“The appeal of the location is underlined by the presence of a diverse mix of local, regional and national businesses, with growing interest in recent years from the renewables sector.

“Priory Park itself sits right next to the A63 with excellent transport links to the Humber Bridge, east coast ports and the national motorway and rail networks and east coast ports.”

Allenby Commercial is also progressing with the renovation of the former Europa House in Hull, which has been renamed Monocle and will welcome the first occupiers into 60,000 sq ft of space this year.

The company has also expanded at Base, a former military motor depot in Chamberlain Road, Hull, which is now home
to 75 businesses.
