South Yorkshire-based developer EV Waddington is building a new 36,000 sq ft industrial and trade scheme in Barnsley to help meet a severe shortage of accommodation.
The Oval, at Dearne Valley Parkway, features seven units, two of which are already under offer with agents Knight Frank in Sheffield. The much-needed speculative development is aimed at industrial, warehouse and trade occupiers and is expected to be completed in August this year, creating 138 full time jobs.
Developer Tony Waddington, who has already brought forward a number of schemes including Northfield Business Park in Rotherham, Vantage Park in Sheffield and Shortwood Business Park in Barnsley, said: “This project is supplying much needed industrial and trade accommodation for the South Yorkshire region. Supporting continued economic growth in South Yorkshire is key and we expect completion later this summer.”
