A.V Dawson Invests in Riverside
A.V.Dawson has secured sites at
the former Newboulds Pie Factory on
Startforth Road, and the Bowes Road
Industrial Estate to complement its existing
range of services.
The company has strengthened its
commercial property rental arm in recent
months as part of a long-term investment
strategy offering a range of facilities for
businesses in the area.
Purchase of the two sites will consolidate AV
Dawson's operations at Riverside Park where it
has trading relations with many companies as
suppliers, tenants or customers. It will also
increase the company's stake in the estate and
demonstrate its continued commitment to the
area.
Gary Dawson, Managing Director commented
"The new properties will add to the plethora
of services we offer making us a one-stop
shop for any company's logistics problems
whether these include transport, loading or
storage issues, or all three."
Plans for the two sites are markedly different.
The Bowes Road Industrial Estate contains a
total of 33 separate units that range in size
from 1,700 sq ft to 7,000 sq ft.
There are plans for the former factory at
Startforth Road to be transformed into
two-storey office and storage units with
adjoining large warehouse space.
There will be four high-spec, open-plan offices
on the first floor ranging from 1455 to 2155
square feet, with equivalent ground floor area
for assembly, storage, packaging and
despatch. Flexible 20,000 square feet of clear,
good height space attached to the building,
provides for companies needing extra storage.
There is also spare land within the site for new
build office units and it is the only one in
Riverside Park with secure parking for
commercial vehicles - a major plus for
companies taking regular deliveries and
orders.
