HUGE ‘REGIONALLY IMPORTANT’ NORWICH INDUSTRIAL SITE COMES TO THE MARKET

One of the largest industrial sites in Norfolk to come to the market for many years has been launched, incorporating a 7.66 acre site with over 94,000 sq ft of industrial/warehousing units.

Swift House on the Sweetbriar Industrial Estate, the former premises of window manufacturer Swift Frame, is being offered either freehold or leasehold through Norfolk-based property firm Arnolds Keys, which has described the site as an opportunity of regional and national importance.

Built in the 1990s, the two large industrial buildings on the site are currently being extensively refurbished, incorporating re-roofing, re-cladding, and an upgrade in energy efficiency including the installation of new LED lighting, with works to be completed by the middle of the year. 

The site, which is situated adjacent to the Amazon distribution centre on the Sweetbriar Estate, has a 800kVA power supply, making it suitable for manufacturing as well as warehousing/distribution.

As well as a large ancillary yard, the site also includes 2.1 acres of undeveloped land which could be brought into use, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

“This is a very substantial industrial site on a key industrial hub in Norwich,” said Nick O’Leary, head of commercial agency at Arnolds Keys.  “We envisage that it will appeal to a major regional or national business, which could in turn lead to substantial employment opportunities as the site is brought back into use.

“Equally it could appeal to an investor keen to take advantage of the current buoyant demand for industrial/warehousing premises in Norfolk.”
