Acting as asset manager on behalf of Cain International, Firethorn has secured a 280,000 sq ft letting to Sika UK at Sherburn42 in north Yorkshire.
Sika UK, the subsidiary of the worldwide Sika Group – which produces and markets a wide range of systems and products for the building sector and industrial manufacturing – will occupy 42% of the Sherburn42 site.
The development has been completed to an enhanced specification, including minimum 50m yard depths, 12.5m eaves heights and 50kN/sq m floor loading.
In line with Firethorn’s strong commitment to sustainability, the site is net zero carbon, with BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ certifications. Designed to empower occupiers to meet, and surpass, their own ESG requirements, Sherburn42 offers sustainable design features including LED lighting to offices and electric vehicle charging points.
Situated in a prime logistics hub, the site benefits from easy access to the A1(M) and the M62, with Leeds, York and Doncaster within a 40-minute drive.
Sherburn42 forms part of a 3.25million sq ft industrial portfolio that Firethorn developed and sold to Cain International in 2022, with Firethorn retained as asset and leasing manager across all sites.
James Sanders, head of industrial & logistics at Firethorn, said:
“Modern, adaptable and well-placed to facilitate business across the north of England, Sherburn42 is set within one of Yorkshire’s most strategic locations for manufacturing, distribution and innovation.
“As with all Firethorn developments, the site has been designed to respond to modern occupational demands and standards of quality, supporting the operational, commercial and environmental objectives of leading occupiers like Sika UK, who we’re delighted to welcome to the park.
“With the final three units remaining, we have exciting conversations with a number of additional, quality businesses and look forward to announcing further customers on the remaining space in partnership with Cain International shortly.”
Tim Brazier, senior vice president at Cain International, said:
“SH280 is a great example of the high-quality logistics space we’re delivering across key UK and European markets. It’s exactly the kind of asset that appeals to globally respected occupiers like Sika, and we’re pleased to be welcoming them to the space.
“This letting, alongside our deal with B&M Retail at Link674, reflects the strength of the portfolio we’ve been building in partnership with Firethorn, to deliver a best-in-class logistics platform.”
Sherburn42’s final three units, ranging from 58,171 to 190,527 sq ft, are available for immediate occupation.
