St Modwen is poised to net its first prelet for its 70-acre Hilton Business Park, near Ashbourne in Derbyshire.
The Midlands-based developer has submitted an outline planning application for a 70,000 sq ft manufacturing and distribution centre for French firm Daher Sawley which operates mainly in the aerospace and defence sectors.
The scheme will include a small element of offices and will house the firm’s staff which is relocating from Derby.
St Modwen’s Paul Smith confirmed this is the first new building on the former MoD site since the company acquired the site in 1993.
Lambert Smith Hampton represented St Modwen.
