£4.5 MILLION INVESTMENT PAYS OFF IN BARNSLEY

Priority Sites, one of the most active commercial developers in the country, is celebrating the success of two major industrial developments in Barnsley, with all units now sold or let.

The high quality schemes at Park Springs Business Park, formerly Grimethorpe colliery, and Wharncliffe Business Park, formerly Wharncliffe Woodmoor colliery, Athersley, represented a total investment by Priority Sites of £4.5 million.

Priority Sites – the joint venture company owned by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and national regeneration agency English Partnerships – is the first developer on site at Wharncliffe and has created a £2.7 million scheme of eleven workshops and six industrial units, ranging from 750 sq ft to 8,000 sq ft. The £1.85 million Park Springs development consisted of two units of 10,000 sq ft and one of 15,000 sq ft.

Local companies looking to move to larger, more modern premises and companies from outside of the area were quick to recognise the quality of the new units and many benefits Barnsley has to offer as a business location.
