Work has officially started on the next phase of Pickering Park, the growing business hub in North Yorkshire which is transforming a former gas processing plant into a thriving centre for enterprise.
Lindum Group’s York team has now begun construction of 11 new industrial ‘starter’ units ranging from 1,200sqft to 2,100sqft in size, marking the continuation of the successful redevelopment of the 18.3-acre site off Enterprise Way, within Thornton Road Business Park.
This latest phase builds on the success of the first stage of the development, which saw nine industrial units constructed and fully sold before completion. Seven of those were purchased by North Yorkshire Council for leasing purposes, with the remaining two sold to private investors. The site is now home to a variety of local businesses, underlining its appeal to multiple industries.
The second phase will deliver a further 18,410 square feet of high-quality commercial space designed to meet demand from small and medium-sized enterprises. The single-storey units will be arranged across three blocks and feature modern infrastructure, pedestrian-friendly layouts and dedicated parking and loading areas.
Lindum Development Manager Andy Gardner said the start on site marks an important step forward for the project.
“It’s fantastic to see the next phase of Pickering Park taking shape,” he said. “The first phase proved that there’s strong demand for well-designed, flexible industrial space in this part of North Yorkshire. This next stage will build on that success and provide even more opportunities for local businesses to grow and thrive.”
“We’re proud to be playing a part in regenerating this former industrial site into a vibrant hub of activity that supports jobs, investment and enterprise.”
