Units fit for purpose

A new gym has opened in two of the few remaining units on a Salisbury trading estate.

Property consultancy Myddelton & Major successfully agreed a new five-year letting of the modern premises.

The new Stonehenge CrossFit gym is opening in units 4b and 6 on the Harnham Trading Estate.

The asset is owned by Legal & General Property’s Industrial Property Investment Fund (IPIF), a £1.3 billion multi-let UK Industrial Fund which has a total of 165 estates across the UK, with 2000 tenants.

Dean Speer, a partner at Myddelton & Major, said: “This double unit has undergone extensive refurbishment prior to re letting, part of landlord’s IPIF continuing commitment to enhancing their estates.

“We have seen demand increase for these modern premises, reflecting the keen interest seen in units of all sizes across Salisbury’s trading and industrial estates as a whole.

“We have positive interest in the few other units available on the Harnham Trading Estate and so hope for them to be occupied very soon as the economy improves and confidence in commercial property sectors continues to strengthen.”

Tris Dixon, co-owner at Stonehenge CrossFit, said: “The refurbishment was top drawer.

“It’s a fantastic light space that allows us to do so much.

“It’s huge and that enables us to have a space where the gym is open throughout the day and another vast area that is home to structured CrossFit sessions with our superb team of coaches.”

Dean added: “Stonehenge CrossFit had a clear vision from the start and this wonderful unit is the perfect building for them and their exciting new venture.”

Just two of the 30 units on the estate remain available on the well-established estate in Netherhampton Road.

Remaining units on the estate are available at £17,500 per annum and £7,950 per annum.

Other occupiers include Rygor Commercials, Dorset Auto Spares and Salisbury City Council.
