Confidence factor.

A SPECULATIVE development of industrial and warehouse units has been unveiled in Huddersfield - and is already attracting big interest.

Two units at Station Road, Bradley Junction - together providing 65,000sq ft of floorspace - have been developed by Elland-based Commercial Development Projects on the site of a former waterworks off Leeds Road..

The two-storey units - measuring 23,500sq ft and 41,500sq ft - provide warehousing or factory space on the ground floor and offices on the ground and first floors. They include sealed concrete floors, straight-in loading doors and service yards.

The buildings - which are available to rent or buy - are being marketed by Hanson Chartered Surveyors, based at New North Road, Huddersfield.

Jason Metcalfe, of Hanson Chartered Surveyors, said: "CDP have decided to undertake this development on a speculative basis, which shows their confidence in the market and the locality.

"It is close to Huddersfield town centre with excellent links to the M62 and Kirklees and Calderdale in general.

"We have already had a good level of interest with numerous viewings.

"There are few units of this calibre available locally and I suspect it will appeal most strongly to the local market as a rare opportunity to purchase the freehold on the size and kind of premises that are increasingly in demand."
