Property Options

With around 850 available properties ranging from small serviced offices to 700,000 sq ft distribution warehouse units, Staffordshire has the right property for your business.

Industrial property makes up 48% of available commercial property. These comprise over 400 individual units with a combined floor space of 15 million sq ft. Half of this floor space rests within units above 100,000 sq ft, which makes Staffordshire an attractive location for Regional and National distribution centres.  Around a third of available floorspace lies within the 10,000 sq ft – 50,000 sq ft range providing ample space for specialised engineering, regional distribution or light manufacturing operations.  But there is also lots of space for start-ups and small / medium sized enterprises as 40% of the total number of industrial units available are less than 5,000 sq ft.  

Industrial property in Staffordshire is extremely competitive on price with average price per sq ft of just £4.55 in the county (July 2009).  Whatever the operation your business can be sure to find suitable space at a competitive price in the industrial market in Staffordshire.
