Northern Trust is pleased to confirm that following completion of their new 35,773 sq ft industrial development in St Helens, in August last year, the estate is now fully occupied within 5 months of completion.
The phase two development at Gerards Park prominently situated on College Street, added 20 units to the popular scheme. The new units have been constructed to a high specification and are arranged in 3 separate terraced blocks with sizes ranging from 818 sq ft up to 2,900 sq ft.
The phase two development has been part funded by the Local Growth Fund. Local Growth Funding is awarded to the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and invested through the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority through its Strategic Investment Fund.
The new development sits alongside Northern Trust’s existing Gerards Park scheme which was developed back in 2012 and is actively managed by Northern Trust’s in house managing agents, Whittle Jones. In total Gerards Park now provides over 66,650 sq ft in 41 individual units.

We have been delighted with the demand for the new space, which is testament to the high quality business space provided in an excellent location. Phase 2 is now home to 18 different businesses, supporting over 130 jobs.”
