INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
POWER PARK
NOTTINGHAM
Powerpark is HBD’s regeneration of the 1 million sq ft Imperial Tobacco factory in Nottingham.
HBD, working with partners Oxenwood on behalf of a private fund, developed plans to create a high quality, brilliantly designed, new industrial and logistics hub, creating 426,000 sq ft of space. HBD also recycled 90% of materials from the original factory, while also investing in new green initiatives such as cycle stores complete with green roofs to encourage biodiversity. Since 1972, the factory had employed 1,000 locals before operations ceased in 2016.
The result is a rejuvenated site ready for future occupiers – and with the potential to create around 1,000 new jobs – a huge boost for the local economy.
VESUVIUS
WORKSOP
The largest speculative development of this scale and quality in Worksop has completed, delivering 46,000 sq ft of industrial and retail space at Vesuvius.
Property development and investment company, CEG, appointed Harris CM to deliver the multi-million pound scheme. Providing three flexible food and beverage units and 16 light industrial units ranging from 1,200 to 5,000 sq ft, subsequent phases will offer larger employment units including speculative as well as pre-let, design and build development.
The first pre-let was secured to Burger King which opened August, a further nine units have now completed with additional strong interest in the site from a wide range of businesses.
MARKHAM VALE
DERBYSHIRE
The transformation of Markham Vale from colliery to a contemporary industrial hub has been 20 years in the making.
Since 2004 HBD has successfully worked alongside three local councils in this area of Derbyshire, creating accessible and attainable new spaces for local and national businesses. HBD has created 2,700 jobs to date, new biodiversity and local landscaping initiatives to bring paths and bridleways back into use, as well as a stunning sculpture trail to honour the miners once working here.
The result is a thriving new commercial community for a new era of workers – both now, and for generations to come. 2.2 million sq. ft has already been delivered, with the space now occupied by numerous businesses.
