Owner Blue Coast Capital has fully refurbished Midway One on Fields End Business Park in Goldthorpe to include total modernisation of the premises, upgraded office accommodation, LED lighting to the warehouse and EV charging.
Following the refurbishment, the detached industrial and warehouse unit has now achieved the highest Energy Performance Rating (EPC) of A meaning the property is extremely energy efficient indicating lower energy usage and potential savings on utility bills for occupiers.
Midway One, provides a modern detached industrial/warehouse unit with ancillary office accommodation and, is set within a secure, self contained site with a 50m yard. The premises which have the benefit of 10m eaves and ground and dock level loading are immediately available to let with the landlord also willing to consider a sale.
John Stacey, Managing Director – UK Real Estate at Blue Coast Capital, said: “We have been focusing on executing a brown to green strategy within the urban logistics sector and our refurbishment has been focused on improving the environmental credentials of this asset as part of our wider value-add strategy. Properties with an EPC rating of A are considered to be among the best in terms of energy performance, making them more attractive to potential occupiers.
“Given the potential round-the-clock operations of an occupier implementing energy-efficient practices is essential and this can be supported by the building. This was important to achieve when we committed to the refurbishment.”
Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank, which is marketing the development, said: “The strategic location of this site between Rotherham and Barnsley offers close proximity to major regional centres in South Yorkshire and further afield, as well as access to major road networks for national distribution.”
Dani Raunjak from CBRE added: “The extensive refurbishment has brought this development up to modern day standards offering an occupier the highest environmental rating as well as a central South Yorkshire location with huge potential.”
The premises also have 600 kva power supply and can be used for both warehousing and manufacturing uses.
