Overview

Capitol Park Barnsley, by Junction 37 of the M1, is one of the most successful business parks in South Yorkshire. First launched by Sterling Capitol in 2005, the 36 acre has helped to create more than 500 jobs and provide a significant boost to the region’s economy.

The main office building at Capitol Park Barnsley is One Capitol Court, which comprises 30,000 sq ft of office space and was developed by Sterling Capitol in conjunction with Priority Sites. Tenants include Finance Yorkshire, Hargreaves Industrial Services and Kelda, a division of Yorkshire Water.

The offices are an integral part of the Capitol Park scheme which also includes a hotel, a pub and seven occupied hybrid units.

Two years ago Sterling Capitol entered into a joint venture with West Yorkshire development company Marshalls CDP, to implement a masterplan to develop the vacant land on site. Since then, the NHS has signed a deal to build a new 75,000 sq ft bespoke blood facility at Capitol Park Meanwhile Gem Imports have bought a new 70,000 sq ft unit on the business park for £5.46 million.
