Developer Towngate has created a row of new industrial units on the iconic site of the former Lucozade factory in Walkden.
Towngate has invested £6m in the site, close to the M61 motorway, creating a range of units ranging from 5,450 sq ft to 45,695 sq ft, with two of the largest units already on a prelet basis. Currently hiring, with spaces remaining ranging from 5,450 to 27,855 square feet.
With the steelwork phase and roof installation completed, and the start of external cladding and solar panel installation, the project is on track for substantial completion in April 2024.
Towngate Business Center includes a secure 30m yard area, remotely monitored CCTV, 24-hour security, EV charging points and on-site parking.
Tom Lamb, Real Estate Director at Towngate PLC, said: “We are thrilled that we have already received several inquiries and it is great to have two properties offered at such an early stage. We look forward to further interest as the property takes shape. The wide range of attractive features ensures that the unit is suitable for a variety of industrial sectors.”
Throughout the construction period, Towngate PLC has worked with Ellenby Construction and designated partners including David Stanway Associates, KPP Architects, Stephen Abbott Associates, Adept and Michael Ayres Partnership.
