Calder Park is a 240 acre (97 hectares) site, including some 100 acres (40.5 hectares) of dedicated nature reserve, meeting the highest environmental standards and with a lower density of development than any other business park in the region. Situated adjacent to Junction 39 of the M1, Calder Park is the fastest growing business park in the region and continues to define the standard for business accommodation.
With Wakefield City Centre four miles away and Leeds and Sheffield just a few more, Calder Park is one of the North’s leading business destinations. The park is already home to The Highways Agency, George Wimpey Plc, Balfour Beatty and many others. The Red Kite pub and Holiday Inn Express are already on site and an amenities village is also planned for the park which currently has more than 45 occupiers and 2000 employees. Staff commuting from Leeds, Wakefield and Barnsley also have the benefit of travelling against peak flows
With detailed outline planning for up to 1.5m sq ft (139,354 sq m) of bespoke office accommodation, opportunities range from 1,000 sq ft (92.9 sq m) to 100,000 sq ft (9,290 sq m). Calder Park offers the choice and flexibility to meet all occupier requirements.
