Wykeland launches latest expansion of popular Melton West business park

Wykeland Group has launched the expanded Melton West business park, offering many development opportunities at one of the region’s largest commercial sites.

The Melton West development has been increased to 200 acres following Wykeland’s acquisition of the neighbouring Melton Park site. This will provide up to 2.85m sq ft of space, which includes existing operations.

Melton West reportedly offers opportunities for manufacturing, warehouse, distribution and office uses ranging from 10,000 sq ft right up to the potential for a single 1m sq ft ‘mega shed’.

Wykeland’s managing director, Dominic Gibbons, said: “Melton West is a successful, well established and well recognised development, so we have decided to build on the brand in launching the expanded business park.

“We know there is significant pent-up demand for the opportunities offered by Melton West as there has been no new, substantial development of this type and size in the Humber area in recent years.

“There are only a handful of sites on this scale available in the North of England and a shortage of facilities such as this across the M62 corridor.

“The location and development opportunities are ideal for modern warehousing and distribution requirements and we have already received a number of enquiries.”

The development is one of only a handful of sites of such scale across the North of England.

Wykeland has appointed Hull’s Garness Jones and CBRE as joint agents for Melton West, to provide local, regional and national representation for the development.

Infrastructure works have also just begun at Melton West for a £10m, next-generation Lister Group Mercedes-Benz dealership. These works aim to facilitate further development at the site.

With around 1,100 people already employed on site, Melton West now has the potential to generate a total of 5,000 jobs.
