Winsford industrial park on sale for £21m

B8 Real Estate is marketing the 6.7-acre Artis Park on behalf of owners Maple Grove Developments and Kier Property Developments.

Artis Park has 13 units. Current tenants include Toolstation, Screwfix and the British Red Cross. In February, Gemco and City Plumbing Supplies joined the tenant roster, with Gemco taking a 15-year lease for 26,620 sq ft unit.

The newly constructed park was built in two phases, with 10 units completed in November 2020 and the remaining three finished this February.

It boasts nearly 124,500 sq ft of combined floor space. Units range from 4,000 sq ft to 26,600 sq ft in size.

Artis Park is located within the Winsford Industrial Estate and is within five miles of the M6.

B8 said the Maple Grove and Kier joint venture is accepting offers of more than £21m for the park.

“Despite being completed for only a short time, Artis Park has proved very popular with not only trade but also national and regional occupiers,” said B8’s investment team head Simon Wood.

“Winsford is continually growing in importance as an industrial location and has been attracting a lot of development and investment activity, partly because of the huge lack of supply in surrounding areas but also because of the expanding occupier base within the estate and the wider Cheshire belt,” Wood continued.

“This is a rare opportunity to buy a brand new, high-quality North West industrial and trade counter development and we expect it to attract strong interest from investors.”
