First phase completed at Yorkshire multi-million pound business park

Work has been completed on the first phase of a multi-million pound business park in North Yorkshire.

Eden Business Park near Malton, which has been developed by developer CDP Marshall in collaboration with Ryedale District Council, is now home to 20,000 sq ft of warehouse accommodation across two terraces, with four units of 5,000 sq ft and two units of 10,000 sq ft.

Situated off the A64 by the Pickering Road (A169) junction next to Eden Camp, the 30-acre mixed industrial and office development will create 600 new jobs.

The first phase of the site is now ready for occupation, and is being marketed by York-based property consultants Lawrence Hannah.

Miles Lawrence, director of Lawrence Hannah, explained: “This is a very important development for the Malton area. This initial speculative first phase has provided six high-quality industrial warehouses, in a superb location, with easy access to York, the East Coast and to Yorkshire’s excellent motorway network.

“Location is proving to be key. The business park is just a mile north of Malton, a flourishing market town, which has reinvented itself as the food capital of North Yorkshire.

“There is no doubt that these units could provide much-needed accommodation not only for the food processing, food distribution and farm-related sectors but also the wider market in general.”

Malton councillor Lindsey Burr commented: “As a county and district councillor for Malton, I’m delighted to see the construction of the business units.

“Hopefully this will encourage more jobs, business, economic viability and investment into Ryedale.”
