Warehouse deal opens doors for new Howdens kitchen outlet

National trade kitchen supplier Howdens Joinery Group is launching a new outlet near Birmingham after signing a 15-year lease on a warehouse unit at a popular business park.

The UK’s leading trade kitchen and joinery supplier has agreed a deal on Unit 10 at Forge Mills Park in Coleshill, bringing the estate to full occupancy, commercial property consultancy Burley Browne announced today.

Burley Browne completed the transaction on behalf of a private investor client that owns the entire business park, achieving the full asking rent following a detailed surrender and simultaneous new letting.

Ben Nicholson, industrial agency director at Sutton Coldfield-based Burley Browne, said: “Securing Howdens Joinery Group on a new 15-year lease at Forge Mills Park highlights the continued strength of occupier demand for well-positioned industrial accommodation in the Midlands.

“This was a detailed transaction involving a surrender and simultaneous new letting, and achieving the full asking rent reflects both the quality of the estate and the confidence occupiers continue to show in the location. Having a nationally recognised business such as Howdens commit to the estate is a significant endorsement of Forge Mills Park and means the scheme is now fully occupied.”

The 8,538 sq ft warehouse unit is located on the established Forge Mills Park development off Station Road on the Coleshill Industrial Estate. The property comprises modern warehouse accommodation with integrated offices, kitchen facilities and WCs.

Constructed around a steel portal frame with a pitched roof incorporating roof lights, the unit benefits from a roller shutter loading door measuring 4.76m by 5.86m and extensive parking provision to the front elevation.

Forge Mills Park is situated off Station Road and benefits from excellent connectivity to the regional and national motorway network. The nearby A446 provides direct access to Junction 9 of the M42 and Junction 4 of the M6, as well as the M6 Toll Road, providing convenient access across the Midlands and beyond.
