Brownfield regeneration and property investment company Harworth group has signed a 75,000 sq ft prelet with McLaren and also disposed of 8.2 acres of land to housebuilder Taylor Wimpey.
McLaren Automotive Limited has taken a 20-year lease at the developer’s Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, where the car firm will build a unit designed and built by Harworth.
Taylor Wimpey has bought a plot of land for 130 homes at the Waverley development (pictured), next to the AMP in Yorkshire.
Owen Michaelson, chief executive officer at Harworth, said: “We are maintaining development momentum at the AMP and demand for new units remains high, with the McLaren deal demonstrating how the Harworth offering has evolved to incorporate the design and build of specialist purpose-built units on behalf of blue-chip occupiers.
“The sale of residential plots to Taylor Wimpey marks our ninth sale of engineered housing land on Waverley. This will add to the 650 homes that have already been built and occupied on the site since 2012.”
