Investment opportunities flourish across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire
FHP Property Consultants is driving commercial growth in Chesterfield and beyond, with a range of opportunities across the industrial, office, and retail sectors.
In Chesterfield, FHP is working with East Midlands Chamber to market two modern office suites. With excellent transport links to the A61 and M1, Suite Stewart (536 sq ft) and Suite Westlake (850 sq ft) offer flexible, high-quality workspace ideal for growing businesses.
In Clay Cross, FHP supported the successful delivery of Wingfield View Business Park, which brought 60,000 sq ft of industrial space to market. Building on this momentum, Roe Developments is now delivering Egstow View Business Park, offering 13 trade counter and warehouse units, with three already under offer.
FHP is also working with Atkinson Construction on a new mixed-use development in Grassmoor. Phase one will deliver four high-spec office buildings, while phase two will introduce small to medium-sized industrial units built to the same high standard.
The Baileys Square regeneration project is also transforming Clay Cross town centre into a vibrant leisure and retail destination. It features new pedestrianised areas and units ranging from 500 to 4,809 sq ft.
