Forge Point: Scunthorpe’s Game-Changing One Million Sq Ft Employment Hub
Hargreaves Land has revealed exciting plans for Forge Point, a sprawling 77-acre employment park near junction 3 of the M180 in Scunthorpe, set to deliver nearly one million square feet of cutting-edge commercial space. This ambitious development will cater to a variety of uses, including high-tech businesses, modern offices, and hotel facilities, making it a pivotal part of the dynamic Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan, a visionary mixed-use scheme shaping the future of the region.
Positioned at the heart of one of the UK’s largest residential and regeneration projects, Forge Point offers more than just workspace. With over 6,000 new homes nearby and a wealth of retail and leisure amenities, the development promises a vibrant environment where businesses can thrive alongside an emerging community. Its prime location, combined with excellent transport links, ensures effortless connectivity for companies, employees, and clients alike.
In a strategic joint venture with Watling Real Estate receivers in 2023, Hargreaves Land is spearheading the Forge Point project within a broader 550-acre segment of the Lincolnshire Lakes initiative. Developers and investors can take advantage of flexible opportunities here, from bespoke design-and-build projects to individual plot sales providing the freedom to create tailored commercial spaces that meet diverse needs.
To maximize the park’s potential, leading property consultants PPH Commercial and Avison Young have been appointed as joint marketing agents. Their combined expertise will attract a wide spectrum of businesses, from advanced manufacturing and research and development to premium office environments, ensuring Forge Point becomes a sought-after destination for a variety of sectors.
Brady Harrison, development surveyor at Hargreaves Land, highlights the unique appeal of Forge Point: “This is more than just a business park, it’s a thriving community hub integrated with a larger mixed-use development. Companies here will benefit from proximity to a vibrant local population and strong infrastructure, setting the stage for long-term success.”
With its scale, strategic location, and diverse opportunities, Forge Point is set to become a landmark in North Lincolnshire’s commercial landscape, a rare and compelling destination for forward-thinking businesses ready to grow, innovate, and lead.
