Acting on behalf of Cable Properties, we have completed the letting of 9,000 sq ft of office space to the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust at Pioneer Court, Normanton. The healthcare trust is relocating from a range of other buildings and has taken a 10-year lease.

Pioneer Court is located just off junction 31 of the M62 and comprises two, two-storey office buildings plus extensive parking. Following the departure of the previous tenant Cable Properties committed to a significant refurbishment of the space, overseen by our building consultancy team.

Richard Corby, director at Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), said: “This is a great example of active asset management from our client. Having identified local demand for office space, they have undertaken an extensive refurbishment and delivered a fit-for-purpose product and secured a high calibre occupier on great terms”.

He added: “The office market is driven by occupiers’ desire for betterment – people want to work in the best space they can afford. In addition, occupiers want well-located buildings that can be easily accessed, and this was a particular demand from the Trust as they need their staff to be able to access the local community.”

Sarah Newton, Senior Estates Surveyor at Cable Properties, said: “We’re very pleased with the calibre of occupier we’ve been able to attract as a result of our investment in the site and LSH’s experience and knowledge of the local office market.”
