Barnsley Set to Forge Ahead with New 10-Acre Industrial Hub
Barnsley’s industrial landscape is getting a significant makeover, with the announcement of a new 10-acre development poised to reshape the area’s economic future. Bringing together renowned property developer Gregory Property Group and Commercial Development Projects, the project is destined to become a magnet for businesses seeking prime location, strong connectivity, and a commitment to sustainability.
Construction, slated to commence before February 2025, will see the ambitious plan come to life over the course of a year, with completion scheduled for February 2026. The prominent contractor Marshall Construction has been entrusted with transforming the strategic site, strategically positioned just off the Dearne Valley Link Road and a stone’s throw from Junction 36 of the M1 motorway.
"This site ticks all the boxes for modern businesses," explains John McGhee, Managing Director of Gregory Property Group. "Its exceptional transport links and proximity to a skilled workforce are undeniable assets, coupled with the added benefit of an attractive and sustainable environment."
The development is firmly rooted in Barnsley Council’s Hoyland North Masterplan, highlighting its importance in the wider regeneration strategy for the region. John McGhee emphasizes the thoughtfully designed landscape, incorporating diverse trees, shrubs, and flower plantings, stating, "We’re creating more than just industrial units; we’re forging a thriving ecological haven where businesses can flourish while contributing positively to biodiversity."
“The synergy between Gregory Property Group and Commercial Development Projects is a potent recipe for success,” asserts Simon Marshall, representing Commercial Development Projects. "This partnership leverages our combined strengths to deliver a truly exceptional project.”
Superintendent Councillor Robin Franklin from Barnsley Council echoes the enthusiasm, stating, "We’re thrilled to see this project take shape, it clearly demonstrates that Barnsley is open for business. This development, with its prime location and high-spec facilities, is precisely the kind of investment that will contribute to our local economy and create new opportunities for our residents."
The project promises to attract a diverse range of industries, particularly those that prioritize robust transport links and access to a skilled workforce. Its modern facilities, coupled with a strong commitment to sustainability and employee wellbeing, place it at the forefront of the future of industrial development. Barnsley is positioning itself as a hub for progress, innovation, and economic growth, and this new development stands as a testament to that ambition.
