Pendle Projects goes from strength to strength

Pendle Projects goes from strength to strength with the recent completion of Pendle Court, Baildon Business Park, Crow Nest Road and a proposed new scheme in Barnoldswick creating 11 new industrial units.

Pendle Projects Limited formed by Mark Taylforth have completed a speculative industrial scheme in Pendle. Pendle Court just off Junction 13 of the M65 was purchased by the developer following the initial sale of the frontage plot to the Kay Group for a petrol filling station.

Pendle Projects acquired the remaining 6 acres of land and initially in Phase 1 provided 22,000 sq.ft. where occupiers now include Screwfix, Eurocell and William Turner.

Following the success of this initial phase two further facilities were completed. A new headquarter facility for Sugdens providing 35,000 sq.ft. and a further unit was completed for Pendle Court Day Nursery which opened late last year and provides approximately 20,000 sq.ft.

The final phase of Pendle Court provided 11 new speculative industrial units all of which are now sold or let to a mixture of owner occupiers and investors.

Following the successful sales of all the Holt Court units, Pendle Projects have recently obtained planning consent for a speculative scheme of nine units in Barnoldswick.

All the units have been reserved off plan already with work due to commence shortly to provide 9 units each of 1,125 sq.ft.

Pendle Projects are based locally and their loyalty to the area has brought forward these successful schemes for Pendle.

Mark Taylforth, managing director of Pendle Projects, comments "I have worked in the commercial property market in East Lancashire for over 25 years. The strength of the industrial sector throughout the region has meant that there has always been a good demand for good quality industrial buildings. This gave us the confidence to buy sites for mainly industrial use and we have sold or let everything we have built. Even with Brexit and Coronavirus, the demand is still very good and we are continuing to acquire sites for future schemes."

Trevor Dawson Chartered Surveyors have been advising Pendle Projects on both schemes and director Michael Cavannagh comments: "The success of the first phase at Pendle Court illustrated the pent up demand for industrial space in Pendle where there has been a lack of speculative development over recent years. This continued as Pendle Court was developed out and it now provides approximately 90,000 sq.ft. of accommodation just off Junction 13 of the M65.

"We are now also advising Pendle Projects with regard to the new scheme at Barnoldswick and we are pleased to report that all units have been reserved off plan. Demand has been such that another phase of Moon Court would be welcomed if there was the availability of another site in the vicinity.

"Pendle Projects Limited should be congratulated on their confidence and vision for the area and the success of both schemes illustrates the demand for new quality commercial accommodation in the locality."
