A 19-unit scheme of high-spec hybrid office/workshop units positioned on Waterside Way, offering two-storey 1,700 sq ft (158 m²) spaces designed for SMEs, light industrial occupiers and investors. Each unit will include a first-floor office with air conditioning, steel portal frame construction, insulated cladding, 3-phase power and allocated parking, set within a secure business-park environment overlooking the canal.
The development benefits from a central Wakefield location with strong road links—approximately 3 miles to Junction 39 of the M1 and close to Wakefield city centre—making it convenient for staff, clients and logistics. Shared secure parking, perimeter fencing and full services (power, lighting, water, drainage) are included in the specification. Completion is scheduled for Q4 2026, with construction due to start early 2026 and detailed designs finalised by October 2025.
Important considerations: the scheme is currently at outline planning stage and interested parties must make their own enquiries with the local authority. Tenure is not specified and business rates, EPC and final specifications are to be confirmed. The immediate area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate, which may be material for some occupiers or insurers.
These units offer practical, contemporary workspace with clear potential for businesses seeking a prominent base close to transport links. The canal-side setting and modern finishes present a strong marketing point for tenants and buyers, while purchasers should budget time to confirm planning, tenure and operating costs before exchange.
