First phase of Malton’s Eden Business Park close to full occupation

The successful multi-million pound business park, which is located immediately off the A64 by the Pickering Road (A169) junction by Eden Camp, will ultimately create 600 new and sustainable jobs.

The first phase of the commercial development comprises warehouse accommodation totalling 40,000 sq ft in two terraces with four units of 5,000 sq ft and two units of 10,000 sq ft each, together with planning consent for a new petrol filling station and associated retail convenience unit.

Miles Lawrence, director of York-based property consultants Lawrence Hannah, who are marketing Eden Business Park along with AWS Ltd on behalf of Yorkshire developers CDP Marshall, said: “The speculative first phase of this development has been a tremendous success story with five of the six industrial premises now occupied.

“Despite the challenges of trading through a global pandemic, we were delighted to secure a new single tenancy on adjoining Units 3 and 4 to Forza totalling 10,000 sq ft.”

Nick Arundel of AWS Ltd said: “This is a very important development for the Malton area. Its popularity so far is a vindication of CDP Marshall’s brave decision to develop speculatively in challenging economic times.”

Malton councillor Lindsey Burr said: “I’m delighted to see the construction of the business units. Hopefully this will encourage more jobs, business, economic viability and investment into Ryedale.”
