LSH and GVA appointed to market 'prime' Glasshoughton industrial unit

The Leeds offices of commercial property agents Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) and GVA is set to market a 23,000 sq ft industrial unit in Glasshoughton, West Yorkshire.

CRT Property Investments Ltd and its asset manager Blue Marble Asset Management (Blue Marble) appointed LSH to bring the property to market.

Unit 9A Alpine Court, Blue Ridge Park, Colorado Way, Glasshoughton is a steel portal frame building located in a mixed industrial, retail and leisure location, close to the Xscape leisure complex and near to Junction 32 of the M62 and the A1(M).

Blue Marble, the Birmingham-based real estate asset management company, manages the 23,000 sq ft industrial unit on behalf of CRT Property Investments Ltd which acquired the unit with the assistance of Blue Marble in September 2016.

Shaun O’Brien, property investment and development director for CRT Property Investments Ltd, said: “The market is very short of this type of good quality accommodation. Unit 9A is a prime industrial unit in a very attractive location so we are very confident of a quick let.”

Tim Matthews, chief executive of Blue Marble, added: “With its proximity to Xscape, Unit 9 is a high profile building with good car parking which, if permission for A1 retail use were granted, in addition to the usual tenants for an industrial warehouse, could suit a business selling direct to the public or trade buyers, becoming a destination in its own right.”

Blue Marble Asset Management is a real estate asset management specialist which presently has more than £60m of property assets under management.
