A dozen new industrial units have officially been put on the market.
The 12 warehouses which have been constructed at the Daniel Platts Business Park, off Brownhills Road in Tunstall, are being marketed on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
The high-spec units – which are between 2,000 and 12,000 sq ft in size – were built by Clowes Developments, and subsequently acquired by the city council, as part of a wider regeneration scheme to transform the town.
Now property agents Harris Lamb have been instructed as marketing agents on the scheme after successfully negotiating its sale.
The council's acquisition of Daniel Platts Business Park follows the adjacent Tunstall Trade Park reaching full capacity last month after the letting of a 30,000 sq ft purpose-built facility to Assurant Device Care.
The 11-unit estate was subsequently sold for £6 million to Stenprop.
Andrew Groves, director at Harris Lamb's Stoke office, said: "To date, over 300,000 sq ft of industrial space has been developed on Brownhills Road by Clowes Developments for occupiers including Tile Mountain, Toolstation and JCH Marine, and we are delighted to have been appointed to market Daniel Platts Business Park, which forms the next phase of development at the site."
Andrew added: "We expect high levels of interest in the scheme, not only does the business park's prime location provide good access to key arterial roads in the area and the motorway network, but it is located within the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone, where eligible occupiers can benefit from significant business rates savings of up to £275,000 over a five year period, subject to being in occupation by March 31, 2021 – something that we"re sure businesses attracted to this popular area will certainly be keen to capitalise on."
