The Challenge: Over 25 years, Innes England has acted on behalf of multiple owners – Evans of Leeds, F & C REIT, Harworth and Hortons Estates handling the adjacent industrial estates at Derby Distribution Centre, Sinfin Central and more recently Sinfin Commercial Park. Derby Distribution Centre, the largest second-hand warehouse in Derby, presented a unique challenge to market and let with accommodation ranging from 80,000 sq ft to 400,000 sq ft of flexible second-hand space. Sinfin Commercial Park comprises a 30 acre site consisting of some 21 units from 3,000 sq ft up to 207,000 sq ft.
The Challenge: Following the liquidation of the previous tenant, Units C and D at Melton Mowbray Commercial Park, totalling 13,371 sq ft, were left vacant. The challenge was to quickly secure a new tenant for the space, minimising the void period and ensuring the property’s modernised facilities were effectively showcased to attract interest in a competitive market.
