Manchester-based civil engineering and construction firm J Hopkins Contractors has bought a 135,000 sq ft industrial unit in Trafford Park, greater Manchester, from a private venture capitalist for £2m.
J Hopkins Contractors is set to demolish part of the building, previously occupied by logistics firm TDG, to adapt it and relocate to it as part of its expansion plan.
Mike Rooney, partner at WHR Property Consultants, which acted for J Hopkins, said: “Trafford Park always has been and will always be the North West’s leading industrial destination. We are seeing increasing activity in the industrial market with a gradual rise in take up, particularly at the larger end of the scale.”
