New 1,000 sq ft light-industrial space minutes from M65 J5 suitable for owners or investors.
New-build light industrial unit, approx. 1,000 sq ft
A newly built light-industrial unit offering about 1,000 sq ft of open-plan workspace in Momentum Business Centre, within 400 yards of Junction 5 of the M65. The development is modern steel-portal construction with brick and insulated cladding, roller shutter and glazed entrance options, allocated forecourt parking and basic toilet facilities. Mains services (except gas) are connected and single-phase electricity and metered water are provided.
This unit suits owner-occupiers, small manufacturers, workshops, storage operators or investors seeking a ready-to-fit space with good motorway links. Planning consent for E(g)(iii) industrial processes is confirmed; other uses may be considered following discussion with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Internal fit-out, racking and any office partitioning will be the purchaser’s or tenant’s responsibility, offering freedom to tailor the layout.
Be clear about material drawbacks: the immediate area is identified as deprived with a very high local crime rate, which may affect insurance costs, staffing and some occupier profiles. VAT is applicable and the property currently lacks gas supply and only has single-phase electricity, which may limit heavy industrial uses. Lease options exist from three years on full repairing and insuring terms for tenants, while various unit sizes and rent/price options are available across the scheme.
Overall this is a practical, well-located new-build unit that delivers straightforward industrial accommodation and strong road connectivity. It represents a cost-effective option for small businesses or investors prepared to manage fit-out, security considerations and utility limitations to realise operational or rental income potential.
