Building and civil engineering company Britcon is handling delivery of the scheme.
Adam Richardson, director at Priority Space, said: “We are delighted to start on site with our first joint venture with HG Holdings.
“Strong interest in the scheme goes to highlight that we are delivering against a real demand for high quality industrial units.

“We have a number of positive leads for the three retail units too and are hoping to secure a national convenience store operator for the 4,000 sq ft unit.
“The residents of Allerton Bywater have shown huge support for these local facilities.
“The industrial and retail units are being offered both for sale and to lease. By providing this flexibility of tenure, we can appeal to a range of occupiers, from national to regional and local.
