A developer who completed St Helens' Totally Wicked Stadium is drawing up plans for a new industrial scheme which could create up to 200 jobs.
Network Space has acquired a 4.8-acre site on Winwick Road in Warrington for an undisclosed sum from the National Grid.
The company is now preparing a planning submission to deliver a multi-let industrial development of c.100,000 sq ft.
If approved by the local council, the business said it hopes to start on site next year.
Joe Burnett, development director at Network Space, said: "The acquisition provides a great opportunity to deliver a variety of multi-let, new build space.
"With a shortage of light industrial space in the area, it will appeal a range of local, regional and national occupiers seeking small and mid-box urban logistics, alongside traditional multi-let users."
The acquisition comes after Network Space purchased the former Manchester College site at Welcomb Street, Openshaw.

Mr Burnett added: "This development, and that proposed at Openshaw, will continue to grow our industrial and logistics portfolio. We are also bringing forward other new schemes, close to urban areas in the region, such as Broadheath Networkcentre in Altrincham and the 28-acre former Sovereign Distillery in Huyton."
