SCREWFIX is set to take a unit in the first phase of a new business park in Holmes Chapel.

Work has just begun on Manor Point, a mixed-use business park off Manor Lane.

Cheshire-based property company Aus-Bore has secured its first tenant at Manor Point, with Screwfix set to take 4,172 sq ft in the first phase of the development, having agreed a 10-year lease.

The first phase will comprise 77,248 sq ft with the flexibility to accommodate requirements ranging from 1,894 sq ft to 31,381 sq ft. The first units will be ready for occupation by the beginning of June.

Upon completion Manor Point will provide 107,000 sq ft of mixed use accommodation for trade counter, storage and distribution, retail, leisure, medical, office and e-tail use.

Mark Sillitoe of Williams Sillitoe said: “To secure Screwfix as our first occupier for Manor Point is a great coup for the scheme.

“Manor Point is an important new addition to the Holmes Chapel region, which is an ever-growing, affluent Cheshire town that continues to benefit from significant investment and a strategic location close to the motorway network.

“We have already had significant interest from a number of other potential occupiers and hope to announce further lettings soon.”

Williams Sillitoe and Savills are the retained joint letting agents for the scheme.
