Development that provides small industrial units suitable for start-up or small businesses
The development comprises 1,600m2 of small industrial workshops. A total of 21 industrial units were created in three blocks and range in size from 44 to 177m2.
The single-storey buildings are steel framed and finished externally with rainscreen cladding designed to a higher specification than the usual speculative industrial development.
Two principal materials have been selected for the cladding, Eternit panels, which are pre-coated and screen printed with a 'Singer' stitching pattern, and gold anodised aluminium panels. There are also areas of triple wall polycarbonate glazing with coloured feature lighting behind.
