1 million sq.ft. employment park unveiled in Scunthorpe

A major development scheme which will accommodate nearly 1 million sq ft of new commercial space has been launched in North Lincolnshire.

Property and regeneration specialist Hargreaves Land has unveiled plans for Forge Point, a 77-acre (31-hectare) employment park near to junction 3 of the M180 in Scunthorpe.

The site, which has capacity for 959,300 sq ft of new development, forms part of a strategic mixed-use area set out in the adopted Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan. The plan supports the development of a range of uses including a high-tech business park, offices and hotel.

Hargreaves Land is offering design & build opportunities as well as individual plot sales and has appointed property consultants PPH Commercial and Avison Young as joint marketing agents.

Brady Harrison, development surveyor at Hargreaves Land, said: “We are delighted to bring Forge Point to the market and thereby offering a range of development opportunities for investors, developers and owner occupiers.

“As part of the wider Lincolnshire Lakes development, which is one of the largest residential development opportunities in the UK, businesses based at Forge Point will benefit from access to a new community of over 6,000 homes, alongside a range of retail and leisure offerings.”

Located 3 miles southwest of Scunthorpe town centre, with access to the M18

via the M181 and M180, Forge Point is offering freehold and leasehold design and build opportunities, which Hargreaves Land say will provide businesses with the chance to “create bespoke solutions that meet their specific operational needs.”

Rob Oliver, principal at Avison Young, said: “Whether it’s high-specification space for manufacturing, office, research and development, or other commercial uses, Forge Point has the potential to accommodate a wide range of occupier requirements. We are very pleased to be appointed by Hargreaves Land to market the scheme together with our joint agent PPH Commercial.”

Duncan Willey, director at PPH Commercial, added: “Forge Point will be a significant addition to the North Lincolnshire commercial property market and presents a rare opportunity for any business looking to establish a presence in a very well-connected location.”
