The Nano Park Company, which specialises in creating combined workshop and office space across Yorkshire, has announced its development in Armley is nearing completion.
The Nano Park Company bought a one-acre site off Pickering Street, Armley for £300,000 from the Yorkshire textile company James Hare in March 2020.
Bradford-based specialist construction company Percy Pickard Contractors is scheduled to finish building work towards the end of next month – and already one occupier has signed up for 3,730 sq ft of office, workshop and industrial space.
Altogether the Nano Park will comprise seven two-storey 1,730 sq ft Nano units and two 2,000 sq ft industrial units. The Nano units will create 50 new and sustainable jobs.
The Nano Park model provides an ideal base for small and fledgling companies and satellite operations for larger firms. The units feature warehousing space on the ground floor, with offices above.
Edward Marshall, a director of the Bradford-based Nano Park Company, explained: “The astounding success of our ground-breaking Nano Parks in Bradford and Wakefield, which are completely full, has encouraged us to repeat the model elsewhere in Yorkshire.
“We are absolutely delighted that one occupier has already committed to taking one Nano unit and one industrial unit at Armley before the development is completed and before we have started any marketing. That is testament to the reputation of our Nano Parks and to the quality space and facilities they offer.
“Now the Armley park is nearing completion, and we are just beginning to market it, we are expecting extensive interest in the remaining units.”
