Shipley-based Stainforth Construction is set to undertake Wilton Developments’ £5 million Connex 45 development at Thornes Farm in the Leeds City Region Enterprise Zone.
Situated on a four-acre site close to the East Leeds link road, the development includes 50,000ft2 and 30,000ft2 manufacturing and logistics buildings.
A £670,000 grant was awarded to Wilton Developments by Leeds City Council to contribute towards the project.
Jason Stowe from Wilton Developments (pictured) said: “This is a Yorkshire success story, as the grant funds are not only kick-starting the first industrial scheme of this scale in many years, but are enabling a Yorkshire developer, a Yorkshire design team and a Yorkshire contractor to undertake this important project for the Leeds City Region.”
