Final phase of Hull’s Priory Park takes shape

A Hull-based commercial property firm is advancing the final stage of a long-running industrial development, marking the completion of a 30-year transformation.

Allenby Commercial has begun construction at The Point, offering design and build opportunities ranging from 5,000sq ft to 50,000sq ft at Priory Park business park, which is situated approximately 4.5 miles west of Hull City Centre.

A 14,000sq ft unit is nearing completion, with an occupier already secured for half the space.

Allenby acquired Priory Park in 2016, continuing the development that began in the early 1990s when Henry Boot Developments worked with Network Rail on the transformation of 150 acres of brownfield land. 

Charlie Allenby, development director at Allenby Commercial, said: “We’ve gone for a modern, European design with Scandinavian style landscaping and solar panels on the roof contributing to an EPC A rating – quite a contrast from the old days when Priory Park was full of railway sidings!

“The new tenant is relocating from elsewhere in East Yorkshire and has been looking for premises to match its own profile as a young, creative business. 

“We’re confident their arrival will generate interest from other businesses in the remaining 7,000sq ft and in the wider 6.5-acre site.”

Jordan Stokes, surveyor at PPH Commercial Chartered Surveyors and Commercial Property Consultants, added: “This is the last available development space at Priory Park. 

“The appeal of the location is underlined by the presence of a diverse mix of local, regional and national businesses, with growing interest in recent years from the renewables sector.

“The Point is suitable for all sectors and Allenbys are setting new standards in design and build.”

Allenby is also redeveloping the former Europa House in Hull into the renamed Monocle, a 60,000sq ft business hub, as well as expanding Base, a former military motor depot that is now a thriving industrial site housing 75 businesses.
