Crewe Hall Farm welcomes second tenant in a month
6/2/2010
The Duchy of Lancaster is welcoming Crewe Hall Farm's latest tenant, Nacco UK Limited - an independent rail freight wagon leasing company which operates in 16 countries across Europe. The company is the second tenant in a month to move into the exclusive office development.
Nacco has signed a five-year lease for 1200 sq ft of space at Crewe Hall Farm after choosing to relocate from a Manchester city centre location.
Andrew Cox, General Manager at Nacco UK, commented: "Crewe Hall Farm is an ideal base for us as it places Nacco within the heart of the UK rail freight industry. It offers excellent transport links, as well as being significantly cost- competitive compared to office space in the city centre. The offices have been refurbished to such a high standard that it makes coming into work an absolute pleasure."
Nick Dart, surveyor of lands for The Duchy of Lancaster, added: "Crewe Hall Farm offers flexible, high specification accommodation that provides stiff competition for city centre offices. The development raises the bar in terms of available boutique office space in the North West, attracting companies of all sizes and from a variety of locations."
In partnership with Maple Grove Developments, Crewe Hall Farm is located just three miles from junction 16 of the M6. The buildings incorporate many original architectural features, such as stone staircases, exposed timber beams and brickwork, grain hoists and false window openings. The development also includes a sympathetically designed "new-build" addition, which ‘echoes' the architectural styling and traditional materials of the rest of the scheme.
Crewe Hall Farm provides a total of 27,500 sq ft of office space with individual suites from 768sq ft (71sq m) to 2,590sq ft (240sq m). Lamonts Commercial and Knight Frank are the agents for the scheme. For further information or to arrange a viewing, visit www.crewehallfarm.co.uk.
