Toyota Tsusho UK set for move to Leeds Bradford Airport Industrial Estate

Toyota Tsusho UK has purchased a 20,000 sq ft distribution centre at Leeds Bradford Airport Industrial Estate in a deal secured by landlord Learmonth Property Investment Company.

This move by Toyota Tsusho UK, part of Toyota Tsusho Corporation - the sixth largest trading company in the world, follows the recent letting of the 101,000 sq ft Unit 9 warehouse to toy and games business Grant & Bowman at the industrial estate.

Toyota Tsusho UK, which has leased Unit 10a as a distribution centre to service its customers, is focused on purchase, supply chain, import, export, storage and distribution.

The 1.3m sq ft Leeds Bradford Airport Industrial Estate is one of the region’s largest.

James Hill of Learmonth said: “We are delighted to welcome these two new quality tenants to the estate. It benefits from 24/7 on site security and CCTV, and we are able to offer large units on competitive and flexible lease terms.

“At the moment, we only have units up to around 100,000 sq ft available. However, in less than five months’ time, Units 6, 7 and 8 will become available, which total around 400,000 sq ft.

“Given the severe shortage of larger units available in the West Yorkshire area at the moment, these are a rare opportunity and so we expect to receive some good interest in them.”

Bilfinger GVA and Gent Visick are joint letting agents.
