£3m industrial development begins in Leeds with Caddick Construction

A £3m contract for a third speculative unit in Leeds has been awarded to Caddick Construction.

This follows on from the delivery of two industrial buildings at Cross Green Industrial Estate, in the city, on behalf of Towngate.

Caddick Construction is set to deliver a 57,500 sq ft detached double portal framed building, alongside infrastructure works and services. Work has also begun on the Pontefract Lane site, set for completion in March 2020.

Robert Smith, of Towngate, said: “Units TL1 and TL2 were delivered to an exceptionally high standard and Caddicks worked professionally throughout.

“As a result, we have now awarded this next phase to the Caddicks team.”

Caddick Construction delivered the first two units as part of the Towngate Link project, both being bought as pre-lets. Wine merchant London City Bond has expanded into the 55,000 sq ft detached warehouse, while Beerhawk took the second 62,500 sq ft warehouse.

Chris Allott, senior contracts manager from Caddick Construction, added: “We are delighted to be working with Towngate again on this next phase, and look forward to delivering another successful commercial building to expand this popular development.”

Cross Green Industrial Estate is around one mile from the M1 motorway and Leeds’ city centre. It is said to be one of the city’s biggest industrial estates and home to a number of manufacturers. There are around 3,000 people who work on the site.
