Acting on behalf of Royal London Asset Management, the Industrial Agency team at CBRE Liverpool and Hitchcock Wright & Partners have recently completed circa 10,000 sq ft of new trade counter lettings to Arco and Toolstation at Junction 8 Trade and Business Park in Ellesmere Port.
Arco has signed up for 5,100 sq ft and Toolstation has taken 4,913 sq ft, with both deals on new 10 year Lease terms. The deals follow the recent 2,914 sq ft letting to Granite Options and 1,993 sq ft letting to Owen Springs, whilst existing tenants Ealing Community Transport and J8 Tile and Stone have expanded into a further 8,318 and 5,820 sq ft respectively, taking the total lettings at the Business Park to 29,000 sq ft within the last 6 months.
Junction 8 Trade and Business Park has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and provides a variety of industrial/warehouse units from 1,800 sq ft. The estate is strategically located close to Junction 8 of the M53 in a well-established area on the outskirts of Ellesmere Port, ideally positioned within easy reach of Chester, Liverpool and Manchester. Existing occupiers include Edmundson Electrical, City Plumbing Supplies, Howdens Joinery, Screwfix, Speedy Hire, Wolesley Royal Mail and City Electrical Factors.
Darren Hill, Associate Director at CBRE’s Liverpool office, said; “The recent succession of lettings at Junction 8 Business Park reflects the increased demand for industrial and trade counter space within established locations close to the major cities of Liverpool and Manchester. We anticipate further lettings success throughout 2015, from tenants seeking good quality accommodation in an excellent location.”
Nick Harrop, Partner from Hitchcock Wright & Partners, added; “Junction 8 Business Park is proving to be the location of choice for local and national trade counter operators looking to service the M53 Wirral corridor between Wallasey and Chester.”
