The Stobart move means there are now six prestigious, high quality commercial units available for lease or sale.

Kingmoor Park Properties has now launched an extensive marketing campaign to attract new or current Cumbria businesses to the site, or inward investors.

Tony Goddard, Chief Executive of Kingmoor Park Properties Limited, said:

“ The Stobart re-location provides us with a great opportunity to expand the variety of stock we can offer potential customers.  This is a very popular site and previously we have been limited as to what we can offer.  Now, we have a wide variety of buildings and land which means we can be flexible in our response to enquiries from companies, whatever their size or needs.

“The more options we can offer, the more chance we have of retaining successful companies in Carlisle, as well as attracting firms from outside the area.  It is also a rare investment opportunity, for as well as leasing the land and buildings, we will consider selling.

“ We are confident of attracting a lot of interest as we have had a positive year, so far.  In January, we had more enquiries than we have ever had in any previous January and interest has continued at a high level over the past months.

“We have 70% occupancy across the Kingmoor and Kingstown sites, so this injection of new stock means we are anticipating a big response.”

The site’s strategic communications – the units are less than a mile from Junction 44 of the M6 – have always been popular with investors but this advantage has been boosted with the recent good news that work will start in October on the long-awaited Carlisle Northern Development Route (CNDR).
