New Build Industrial Scheme in St Helens Welcomes Several New Occupiers
19 May 2025Canal Bank Business Park in St Helens has welcomed seven new occupiers to site since developer, Sterling Properties, completed work on the 16-unit scheme, on behalf of Bracken Property Company Limited.
OBI and Sterling Properties jointly represented Bracken Property Company, developers of the business park, in the lettings, which has seen a total of 9,525 sq ft floorspace occupied since October 2024. Half the units on the scheme are now occupied, with new tenants representing a number of industries; including construction, joinery, chemicals, and wholesale goods, marking Canal Bank Business Park as an incubator for smaller and independent companies from across the Northwest.
Canal Bank Business Parkis a scheme of 16 new-build industrial units ranging from 1,000 sq ft to 1,940 sq ft. Each unit has been specified with an electric roller-shutter door, kitchen, disabled WC, and EV charger.
Development of the scheme was greenlit following the success of Bracken’s Foundry10 scheme in Widnes, which is currently fully-let.
Greg O’Hara, letting agent at OBI, said: “We are pleased to have worked alongside Sterling Properties and our client, Bracken Property Company, in securing these lettings. It is gratifying to see the diverse mix of occupiers we have already attracted, which is a testament to the quality of space delivered and the capacity we have to offer flexible leases to occupiers.
“The scheme also benefits from excellent transport links, sitting just 2 miles from the East Lancashire Road and 4 miles from the M62 motorway.”
Dominic Nabb of Sterling Properties, added: “The St Helens market has been calling out for a modern industrial scheme. Canal Bank Business Parks fulfils this need, with business owners now afforded the rare opportunity to occupy a smaller, self-contained unit with a modern specification. We are pleased to have welcomed these new occupiers to site and look forward to supporting their continued success.”
