First phase of delayed £40m Leyland industrial completes
Around 23,000 sq ft across 19 units has been handed over at the proposed 190,000 sq ft Titan Business Park, which was originally expected to complete in 2022.
Developer Providence Gate Group Holdings lodged plans for the £40m business park in 2021. In the intervening years, funder Pitalia has taken control of the scheme.
Phase one comprises six larger units of around 2,300 sq ft available to lease and 13 smaller units of 750 sq ft, which are available for sale.
Joint agents, Turner Westwell and Robert Pinkus & Co have been appointed to market the completed units.
Work on the remaining 167,000 sq ft is expected to commence next year, Pitalia said.
The scheme forms part of the redevelopment of the 120-acre former Leyland Test Track.
Mike Banton, Pitalia’s development director, said: “The completion of phase one is an important milestone for Titan Business Park and brings much-needed, high-quality commercial space to an already well-established location.
“The combination of flexible unit sizes, excellent motorway connectivity and the wider investment taking place around Centurion Village makes Titan an attractive proposition for businesses looking to establish themselves or grow in the North West. We’re looking forward to welcoming the first occupiers and seeing the business community here develop.”
The planning consultant for the project was PWA Planning and Manchester-based Four Architects designed the scheme.
Titan Business Park is part of the wider Moss Side employment area, which is home to occupiers including Dr Oetker, TNT, APC Overnight, PJ Fork Trucks, and CrossFit Leyland.
