Work has started on a £4.5m speculative development at UK Land Estates' Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate in North Tyneside.
The scheme - supported by a £731,818 grant from the North East Local Enterprise Partnership via the Getting Building Fund - will deliver 4,485 sqm of industrial space for a range of occupiers.
UK Land Estates says the L6 development, located on the Intersect 19 area of Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate, is due to be completed this summer.
