Motor Depot takes Harworth’s Helix unit

Used car supermarket Motor Depot has taken a 15-year lease at the 75,277 sq ft Helix unit at Harworth’s Gateway 36 development in Barnsley.

It is one of five new long-term lettings on Harworth’s directly developed commercial space in the north of England.

At the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Rotherham, it has secured two new tenants for its second phase of “R-evolution” units. The 25,962 sq ft Unit 8 building is let to Spendor Audio Systems on a 15-year lease, while the 15,063 sq ft Unit 7A is let to British Steel on a 15-year lease.

Harworth has also agreed two ten-year leases with Northern Building Plastics and Vaclensa for its C4 and C5 “R-evolution” units at Logistics North in Bolton, totalling 52,871 sq ft.

Chief executive Owen Michaelson said: ““These lettings also provide further evidence of the underlying strength of the industrial property market across the North of England, as we continue to see demand for high quality space.”
