Legat Owen & JLL, acting on behalf of Legal & General, have secured a new tenant for a 100,000 sq ft facility in Deeside.
The property on Tenth Avenue, Zone 3, Deeside comprises a modern detached manufacturing/warehouse facility on a fully contained site of 6.03 acres and has been let to new tenants Boccard UK Limited on a 12-year lease.
Boccard UK is a leading company in the field of engineering and maintenance services. Operating globally across a variety of sectors they hold a key position in today’s industrial marketplace. The facility at Deeside forms part of their strategy to expand their UK business.
Mark Diaper, Director, Legat Owen, who oversaw the letting said:
“Once the outgoing tenant served notice we worked quickly to put the parameters in place for the marketing of Unit 1. Securing Boccard at the outset of the marketing campaign confirms the strong interest in the Deeside area from occupiers and has resulted in a limited vacancy period and minimal interruption for the Landlord.
“The investment by Boccard in North Wales is testament to the skills and facilities in the region. The site will provide them with the expansion they need including manufacturing space and external lay down areas drawing on the existing workforce.”
Douglas McQueen, Managing Director, Boccard UK, said:
“Unit 1 provides us with the platform and flexibility to expand our existing operations in the North Wales and UK market to satisfy our current customers and attract future business opportunities.
“We are underway with an extensive fit-out, including the installation of our digital production management system ‘BocTrack', which is pivotal to our manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, we are undertaking several refurbishment upgrades to make the unit work for our purposes and a showcase for our business.”
Ruth Leighton, Director, JLL, said:
“The unit has only had one occupier prior to this letting and provides a quality manufacturing warehouse with good eaves, power and large yard to meet modern requirements. Deeside has excellent links to the national motorway network, rail and ports and is seen as a strong area in the local economy.”
Deeside Industrial Park is regarded as one of the premier industrial locations in the region. The estate has been developed since the 1970s and forms part of the 2,000 acre Deeside industrial area.
Boccard were unrepresented.
