Plans have been submitted for 285,000 sq ft of industrial, warehousing and roadside opportunities in South Yorkshire, which could create up to 500 jobs.

Catalyst, the new development at Sheffield Business Park, will offer design and build opportunities for sale or to let from 22,354 to 108,237 sq ft.

The plans mark the final phase of development by º£½ÇÊÓÆµ property companies Premcor and Peveril Securities, following the joint venture acquisition in March.

The 18-acre site was bought for an undisclosed sum in a deal brokered by Knight Frank and BNP Paribas Real Estate.

Catalyst will offer five units suitable for warehouse and distribution, general industrial and manufacturing and also users looking for roadside profile. The site forms part of Sheffield City Region’s Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District and fronts onto Sheffield Parkway.

Simon Hawkins, director at Premcor, said: “Catalyst is an exciting development set to be fuelled by the region’s impressive manufacturing pedigree and status. Our development will truly reflect the catalyst for growth here.

“The Sheffield City Region, which includes Rotherham and this site, is one of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s major manufacturing locations. Contributing nearly £20 billion to the national economy, the area is set to see strong growth and has a high availability of labour meaning competitively-priced wages compared to regional and national averages. Sheffield also has a 5.1 per cent predicted growth rate from 2018-2028.

“The site enables occupiers to be at the cutting edge of º£½ÇÊÓÆµ manufacturing and within the north’s new logistics hotspot.”
