Barnsley’s Midway One completes refurbishment 

The 68,000 sq ft warehouse is being let by Knight Frank and CBRE following a renovation by owner Blue Coast Capital.

Located on Fields End Business Park in Goldthorpe at the boundary of Barnsley and Rotherham, the unit is close to the A1(M) and J36 of the M1.

Blue Coast is open to a sale as well as lettings, and nearby occupiers include Aldi, SolarFrame, and True Refrigeration.

The premises now includes upgraded office accommodation, EV charging, a 600kva power supply, and is EPC ‘A’ rated.

John Stacey, managing director – UK real estate at Blue Coast, said: “We have been focusing on executing a brown to green strategy within the urban logistics sector and our refurbishment has been focused on improving the environmental credentials of this asset as part of our wider value-add strategy.

“Properties with an EPC rating of A are considered to be among the best in terms of energy performance, making them more attractive to potential occupiers.

“Given the potential round-the-clock operations of an occupier implementing energy-efficient practices is essential and this can be supported by the building. This was important to achieve when we committed to the refurbishment.”

Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank, said: “The strategic location of this site between Rotherham and Barnsley offers close proximity to major regional centres in South Yorkshire and further afield, as well as access to major road networks for national distribution.”

Dani Raunjak from CBRE added: “The extensive refurbishment has brought this development up to modern day standards offering an occupier the highest environmental rating as well as a central South Yorkshire location with huge potential.”
