CBRE and Savills have been appointed by the UK’s leading ports group, Associated British Ports (ABP), as agents and advisers on a major port-centric manufacturing and logistics site at the Port of Hull.
The Humber International Enterprise Park (HIEP) comprises 468 acres of prime land and includes 212 acres of port estate that benefits from Enterprise Zone Status, being situated within the Humber Freeport Tax Assisted Zone.
The site also has potential quayside access to the Port of Hull via a dedicated road/rail link, which can offer the benefit of access to port facilities.
With on-site renewable energy generation at the port (including the UK’s largest commercial rooftop solar array), a large skilled workforce in the Humber, and strong road and rail connectivity, this site is ideally suited for port-centric manufacturing and logistics.
Simon Bird, ABP’s Regional Director for the Humber comments:
“HIEP offers huge potential to support business growth for those looking to base themselves in the Humber. Port-centric manufacturers would have easy access to import and export commodities whilst benefiting from the Humber Freeport status. The development area is also close to the A1033, providing access to the A63 and M62 motorway”.
This development site in the Humber is the first of a tranche of 14 sites, of more than 1,000 acres of development land, that ABP has brought forward to support the UK’s supply chain, manufacturing, and renewable energy sectors. ABP continues to demonstrate its commitment and contribution to the UK’s economic recovery and supply chain efficiency.
