The site, at Junction 36 of the M1 at Dearne Valley Parkway, Rockingham, has planning permission for three units totalling approximately 125,000 sq ft of high specification industrial accommodation.
Otley-based developer Gregory Property Group has said that with work commencing before the end of February 2025, completion is expected by February 2026.
The site is located a just off the Dearne Valley Link Road and is included in the Hoyland North Masterplan framework.
John McGhee, managing director at Gregory Property Group, said: “The site is a high profile and popular location for industrial occupiers because of its excellent transport links and local labour force.
“The design, which includes various tree, shrub and flower planting schemes to improve the biodiversity of the area, will make this a very pleasant place to work, and we expect demand for the units to be high.”
Robin Franklin, Barnsley Council’s cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said the scheme would “encourage business growth, provide new employment opportunities for our residents and boost our local economy”.
Barnsley Council was advised by Shoosmiths.
