BNP Paribas Real Estate appointed to sell off Keyland’s Yorkshire site portfolio

The Leeds office of BNP Paribas Real Estate has been appointed to market a portfolio of eight development sites totalling 40-acres across the Yorkshire region.

The portfolio, owned by Keyland Developments, includes former reservoir sites on Broadgate Road in Beverley and Osgodby in Scarborough which extend to 2-acres and 3.65-acres respectively.

In Ossett Spa in Wakefield, Keyland is disposing the freehold interest on a 25-acre development site which offers long-term development potential, subject to planning, directly adjacent to the M1.

A 2.22-acre site at Loftsome Bridge in Wressle near Goole has also been launched to market along with 5.56-acres of agricultural land in Oxenhope and a 4.31—acre development site in Carr Vale, Bolsover.

In Harrogate, Penny Pot House on Penny Pot Lane, a development site totalling 0.31-acres, has also been launched to market as a redevelopment opportunity.

Additionally, the freehold interest in a 0.24-acre site on the A59 York Road, Knaresborough is being marketed. The site is within the Knaresborough Technology Park so offers potential for retail development.

Ryan Unsworth, development manager of Keyland Developments Ltd, said: “This portfolio of sites offers a broad range of development opportunities for keen individuals seeking a unique conversion project or for developers looking for interesting sites within the region.

“We were impressed with how the BNP Paribas Real Estate team approached a similar disposal project for National Grid and are looking forward to working with them on this diverse portfolio.”

Iain Cairns, surveyor at BNP Paribas Real Estate, commented: “We are delighted to have been appointed by Keyland Developments to dispose of this portfolio of sites.

“Marketing has begun and we have had high levels of interest from a range of different purchasers looking for unique opportunities. The sites range in potential from agricultural land to significant development opportunities in strategic locations.”
