Hortons signs off on major Derby industrial rebuild
A 63,000 sq ft warehouse near the Rolls-Royce Derby Aerospace Campus has been completed as part of the ongoing transformation of Sinfin Commercial Park.
Hortons has redeveloped Unit F as part of its masterplan for the 23-acre site, around two miles south of Derby city centre, which received planning permission for 17 new units in May this year as part of the firm’s plan to overhaul the site.
Unit F provides three level access roller shutter doors, a minimum eaves height of 5.5m and dedicated office space. Access is via a secure barrier entry system, with landscaped green amenity space available on-site. The building is available for immediate occupation.
Jeremy Boothroyd at Hortons, said: “The completion of Unit F demonstrates the progress being made at Sinfin Commercial Park. By transforming an existing building into modern, energy efficient accommodation, we have significantly improved the quality of the space available to occupiers while supporting the estate’s long-term future.
“Our investment in Sinfin Commercial Park reflects confidence in the East Midlands market and supports our strategy of repositioning this well located site as a modern and sustainable industrial hub, delivering a mix of new and refurbished industrial/warehouse units.”
Nick Hosking of joint agents Innes England added: “Derby’s industrial sector has performed strongly, with take-up exceeding the long-term average for the fifth consecutive year. However, this has reduced availability, meaning demand continues to outstrip local supply.
“It’s encouraging to see Hortons’ continued investment in Sinfin Commercial Park. The delivery of Unit F, alongside a proposed pipeline of new units, is much needed to help address that shortage of supply.”
