Stainforth starts work on Harrogate 47
The contractor has begun construction of speculative business units totalling 106,000 sq ft of grade A space for developer Opus North and Bridges Fund Management.
The units will be arranged in two terraces and will range from 5,500 sq ft to 12,000 sq ft, as well as three detached units ranging from 10,000 sq ft to 22,000 sq ft.
With access and infrastructure works now complete, delivery of these units has now started and is expected to complete this autumn.
Appointed agents for Harrogate 47 are CBRE and Gent Visick.
Located on a 45-acre site near J47 of the A1(M), North Yorkshire, the low-carbon scheme is looking to attain BREEAM Excellent rating.
Henry Pepper, partner at Bridges Fund Management, said: “Our plan is to develop sustainable units that will be highly attractive to a range of regional or national occupiers looking for cost-efficient, future-proofed employment space. We are delighted that construction can now begin on the units.”
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open to business, Cllr Mark Crane, said: “This is a very welcome investment in mixed use business accommodation in North Yorkshire.
“It’s in a prime location to boost employment in the county and encourage economic growth across a range of sectors.
“We look forward to seeing the development take shape and hearing about the businesses that will eventually occupy the site.”
