Legat Owen scores Cheshire Green hat-trick

Property consultancy Legat Owen has completed a trio of sales at Cheshire Green Employment Park in Wardle, Nantwich.

In the largest of the three deals, Plot 7 has been bought for the development of a bespoke facility of more than 130,000 sq ft for Everything Genetic, a provider of medical testing kits that has grown rapidly through the Covid period.

Plot 3, comprising around 2.3 acres, has been sold to property company Spitfire Ltd, which will build a single speculative unit of circa 30,000 sq ft.

This will be Spitfire’s fourth purchase at Cheshire Green and comes on the back of successful lettings to expanding local businesses in contract packaging company Unette and PCO, a supplier to the snack industry.

The 3.1-acre Plot 4 has been bought by Andrews Property Investment, to allow a further new-build unit for a retained client with a need for a property of around 50,000 sq ft.

Matthew Pochin, director at Legat Owen, said: “Cheshire Green has proven consistently that it has the ideal qualities that Cheshire businesses want. It’s great that we can enable the growth ambitions of companies like Everything Genetic and we provide homes for growing businesses.”

Phase one of Cheshire Green is now all but spoken for and developer, Phillip Posnett is focussed on enabling phase two before the year end. The second phase has already attracted an international manufacturer to sign an exclusivity agreement on 12-acres for a new facility.

Cheshire Green Industrial Park is located on the A51 in central Cheshire within easy reach of the key towns of Crewe, Chester and Warrington. With planning permission for nearly 1.5 million sqft of industrial and distribution uses and open storage land, Cheshire Green Industrial Park offers development plots from 1 to 20 acres to suit occupiers of all sizes.
