ARK enters next phase of growth
ARK, a highly successful logistics and manufacturing development located at Markham Vale, is entering a new phase of growth with the start of construction on a new 53,770 sq ft unit. This new building is adjacent to the recently completed first phase. The building meets the latest industry requirements and will open for occupation in Q3 2026.
Phase 2 of ARK offers a high-specification, sustainable unit with access to up to 400 kva of power. It provides flexible solutions tailored to modern logistics and manufacturing operators.
ARK occupies a prime position at the heart of the UK’s motorway network, located just 1.1 miles from Junction 29A of the M1 and within easy reach of Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby. Its central location places it only 21 miles from Sheffield city centre and just 35 miles from East Midlands Airport, making ARK an exceptional hub for distribution and industrial businesses.
ARK is part of the well-established Markham Vale industrial and logistics destination, which spans over 200 acres and hosts around 70 businesses employing 2,200 people. The thriving location offers occupiers access to a wealth of skilled local talent and excellent transport connections.
ARK is delivered through Origin, a joint venture between HBD and Feldberg Capital. It benefits from the expertise of partners with a proven track record in creating outstanding industrial and logistics solutions for both international and local operators.
Since the completion of the first phase, ARK has seen significant success. It has attracted high-quality tenants. It has also contributed to the ongoing growth and development of Markham Vale as a key industrial destination in the region.
The new unit marks a major step forward in ARK’s continued expansion. This reinforces its status as a premier location for logistics and manufacturing businesses looking for high-quality, well-connected space in the heart of England.
Vivienne Clements, Executive Director at HBD, said:
“Markham Vale is one of the region’s most successful I&L locations, which is reflected in demand from potential occupiers seeking high-quality, sustainable space. We’re pleased to see our vision for ARK almost complete, with HBC Construction now on site delivering the final unit.”
Jamie Acheson, Managing Director of Feldberg Capital, said:
“ARK fits squarely within Origin’s investment strategy, combining a proven location with strong occupier demand and high-quality specification. Sustainability was a key priority for ARK, as with all Origin projects, delivering BREEAM Excellent space to support businesses in meeting their ESG objectives.”
