Property firm PLP has confirmed the letting of Unit 5 at Bessemer Park in Sheffield to BAE Systems, a UK-based company in the defence, aerospace and security sectors.
The unit is a new 96,000ft² logistics and industrial facility, which was developed as part of the second phase of development at Bessemer Park, completed in Q1 2024.
The scheme, PLP says, has been delivered in accordance with the UK Green Building Council’s Carbon Net Zero standard, ensuring reduced carbon emissions through construction and enabling net zero operations for all occupiers.
Hugh Chesterton, development director at PLP, commented: “We are delighted to welcome BAE Systems to PLP Bessemer Park.
“It is great to have another blue-chip British business join PLP Bessemer Park. This is another stamp of approval for Sheffield’s premier industrial and logistics location.”
Bessemer Park’s Unit 3 has already been let to electrolyser manufacturer ITM Power, while Unit 4 has been let to tool distributor Dormole. The scheme’s final unit, spanning 294,000ft², is immediately available to lease.
Knight Frank, CBRE and Moriarty & Co are the appointed leasing agents for the development. BAE Systems were represented by Colliers.
