Quattro hosts Doncaster Property Forum

The regeneration of Doncaster continues apace, despite fears that the commercial property market is facing a downturn.

That is the view of Steve Bird, project director of 3D, the public/private sector partnership with responsibility for delivering the borough's major projects.

Mr Bird was speaking to the Doncaster Property and Professional Forum, where about 50 delegates heard an update on progress of major regeneration projects in Doncaster.

The forum was organised by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council's Investment Team in conjunction with Shepherd Developments and Scarborough Development Group and was held at Quattro, West Moor Park, Armthorpe.

Quattro is the high-quality fourth and final phase of the acclaimed West Moor Park development at Junction 4 of the M18 near Doncaster, and is ready for occupation.

The state-of-the-art property, which is a speculative joint venture between Scarborough Development Group and Shepherd Developments, comprises a warehouse or production unit of about 163,000 sq ft, which includes 7,500 sq ft of offices. It is available to buy or to rent.

Richard Squire, the project director of Shepherd Developments, commented: "We are extremely excited about Quattro, which has already attracted a great deal of interest. We feel this excitement was shared by all the delegates who came to the forum and who were impressed by the high quality of the offices and reception." 

West Moor Park is now a very well established as a "prime location" in the Doncaster area and, indeed, in the whole of the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Andrew Crowther, associate director of the Scarborough Development Group, commented: "The growth and popularity of the M18 corridor over the last few years - highlighted by both IKEA and Next undertaking significant extensions to their existing units - has been a key factor in the success of West Moor Park".

The agents for Quattro are the Leeds offices of GVA Grimley and Jones Lang Lasalle.
