A substantial freehold distribution opportunity on approximately 1.00 acre at City Fields, Wakefield, positioned close to Wakefield centre and major road connections including the M1 and M62. The scheme is designed for modern logistics use with level loading doors, a secure service yard, car parking and vehicle charging facilities, plus sustainability features such as on-site renewable energy potential, low-energy lighting and increased insulation.
The wider development is mixed-use, with warehouse units commercially configured from 20,000 to 150,000 sq ft and trade counters from 4,000 sq ft, offering flexibility for occupiers or phased redevelopment. Immediate access to the Wakefield Eastern Relief Road (WERR) and proximity to planned local amenities and new housing supports long-term occupational demand and tenant catchment.
Buyers should note contextual constraints: the local area scores high on deprivation and recorded very high crime rates, and broadband speeds are slow. These social and infrastructure factors may affect some occupier profiles and require consideration when marketing or repositioning the asset.
Overall this site suits investors or owner-occupiers targeting industrial/logistics exposure with sustainability credentials and redevelopment upside, particularly where long-term value can be realised through tenant fit-out, site servicing or integration with the planned City Fields neighbourhood.
