A new industrial scheme in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, has reached practical completion, with the first in a series of lettings set to be announced.Pent-up demand for quality industrial space has brought forward five new industrial units at the Stanton Forge development.The speculative scheme, by local company D M Hartshorn Investments, follows a successful first phase on Littlewell Lane at the business park, which was completed in 2016.David Hartshorn from D M Hartshorn Investments said: “It’s great to see this second development complete and new tenants getting ready to move in. We are in the process of obtaining planning permission for a third phase on the site.”Each of the five 1,383 sq ft units at Stanton Forge’s second phase have been available on new leases through NG Chartered Surveyors.Richard Sutton, Managing Director at NG Chartered Surveyors, said: “It’s no surprise that the second phase of Stanton Forge is proving so popular. When we launched the first phase we had over 60 enquiries for the units and agreed disposal terms on all of them before they were completed and this second phase is following a similar path.”
