Frankie & Benny’s are in the immediate vicinity. Light industrial occupiers include Peacocks, DHL Logistics and Makro, proving Parc
Nantgarw to be a true mixed-use business park.

THE MARKET
The industrial market in Treforest was the subject
of the largest ever industrial property investment
transaction in South Wales, with the £60m
purchase of Treforest Industrial Estate by Segro
in 2006. This reinforced the area as one of the
prime industrial locations in South Wales, while
the adjacent Parc Nantgarw has emerged as a
complimentary mixed use business park, with a
diverse range of quality occupiers.
Although the local market has been very active
in the small/medium freehold sector over
recent years, the recent financial difficulties
have resulted in more companies exploring the
leasehold market. Recent comparable activity
in the industrial sector includes:•
Imperial Park, Newport – 51,500 ft2 let in
September 2008 to WH Smith on a 10-year
secure term at £5.50 ft2
•
Trident Park, Ocean Park, Cardiff – 21,000
ft2 let to BSS Group in June 2007 on a 15year term at an average rent of £5.84 ft2
•
Avenue Industrial Estate, Cardiff –
60,370 ft2 let to Gardvenus Ltd in January
2007 for 10 years at £5.96 ft2
•
Neptune Point, Cardiff – 19,760 ft2 let to
Buck & Hickman Ltd and subject to a June
2005 rent review agreed at £5.75 ft2
