Helios City provides the missing link
27 February 2008
More than 11,148 m² (120,000 ft²) of prime industrial and distribution space is now available in Chorley
Over 11,148 m² (120,000 ft²) of prime industrial and distribution accommodation has just been released to the North West market.
Developer Helios City, in partnership with CBRE Investors, has completed phase one of Buckshaw Link in Chorley and is pressing ahead with phase two which is expected to complete in May. The second phase will comprise 9,755 m² (105,000 ft²) and will be ready for occupation in June.
At 20,903 m² (225,000 ft²) over six hectares (15 acres), Buckshaw Link forms part of the award winning Buckshaw Village project which incorporates a wide range of leisure and sporting facilities as well as providing a considerable labour pool. Set within a low density environment, the development’s proximity to the motorway network - a mile from junction 8 of the M61 and junction 28 of the M6 - and a proposed new railway station serving Preston and Manchester puts the site within reach of a large catchment area.
“The accommodation on offer at Buckshaw Link provides would be occupiers with first class premises and a wide range of amenities close by. The units on phase one range from 596 m² to 3,380 m² (6,417 ft² to 36,382 ft²), delivering a choice of floorplates and bringing highly sought after accommodation to the growing North West market”, said Daniel Burn, senior associate at King Sturge, joint agent on the scheme with Bailey Deakin Hamilton.
Ross Dixon, property and development manager at Helios City, added: “A great deal of consideration has gone into this scheme and the result is an outstanding development which complements its surroundings. Neighbouring occupiers include Wolseley UK and Multipart, as well as a district centre, and we have outline planning for hotel, pub and car showroom, so any company moving here would benefit from all the facilities associated with an established area.”
