Knight Frank appointed to Chesterfield’s biggest vacant office space

The Sheffield office of commercial property agent Knight Frank has been appointed to find new tenants for the biggest vacant office space in Chesterfield.

Knight Frank, through its Sheffield office, has been hired by FI Real Estate Management to market the 44,000 sq ft former Royal Mail building on Boythorpe Road in Chesterfield.

The modern, four storey office building, now known as The HQ, sits in a central position in the market town and has recently become available following a reorganisation within Royal Mail which freed up this building.

Knight Frank is seeking tenants for the whole building or for individual floors of approximately 11,000 sq ft, at a rental asking price of £12.50 per sq ft per year.

Peter Whiteley, head of office at Knight Frank in Sheffield, said: “The HQ is the largest vacant office space available in Chesterfield. It became available following a reorganisation within Royal Mail which freed up the front building of this development. Royal Mail still operate from the original Rowland Hill House in the building at the rear of The HQ.

“The self contained building is finished to Grade A specification on a secure site and delivers a flexible working environment to meet the demands of modern business combined with generous on site car parking.

“While it is envisaged that the whole accommodation could be taken by a call centre or similar operation, it could also be taken on a floor by floor basis for other employment purposes such as smaller technology or creative industry companies.”

Features at The HQ include 147 car parking spaces, double glazing and air conditioning, raised access floors and full DDA compliancy.

Historic market town Chesterfield nestles on the edge of the Peak District National Park and has a population of approximately 103,800. It has excellent links to the motorway network, via Junctions 29 and 30 of the M1 and is well served with train connectivity, including fast links to the capital and a proposed HS2 station in the future. It also benefits from being well located within easy access of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham.

The HQ is located within walking distance of Chesterfield town centre and Chatsworth Road. Giving access to award winning restaurants and bars, independent and high street shopping, Chesterfield market and the famous crooked spire. The site is adjacent to the picturesque Queen’s Park and the new Queen’s Park Sports centre with its state of the art gym and pool.

Dom Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager at Destination Chesterfield said: “Chesterfield is the perfect location for your business. North Derbyshire is cost-effective, well-connected and full of potential. By locating to Chesterfield, you will join businesses from world-leading manufacturers to multinational communication companies. Enterprises of every kind already benefit from our positive approach and superb travel links.”
