Pre-let agreement signed at Sheffield’s Bessemer Park phase two

PLP has successfully signed a pre-let agreement with ITM Power for a 7,732m² warehouse as part of the second phase of development at PLP Bessemer Park, Sheffield.

ITM Power, who design and manufacture hydrogen generation systems, has already leased a 12,500m² unit that was completed during Phase 1 of development.

The deal is the first letting at the second phase of development currently under construction. It consists of four units totalling 56,250m² with completion targeted from October 2023.

Located close to J34 of the M1 motorway, the site is said to offer excellent connections to the entire country, with 90% of the UK population within a 4.5-hour drive. PLP Bessemer Park is a 4-minute drive to Meadowhall shopping centre and Meadowhall Interchange Rail Station.

Working on behalf of main contractor Winvic Construction, Caunton Engineering are designing, supplying and erecting more than 2,000t of steelwork for the project.

The scheme will achieve carbon net zero (CNZ) status and will adhere to the UK Green Building Council’s Net Zero Buildings Framework.

Hugh Chesterton, Development Director at PLP: “We are really pleased to see the first occupier commitment to our second phase of development at PLP Bessemer Park. It is rewarding to see an occupier at the vanguard of the green hydrogen and renewal energy sector expanding further within the wider development.”
