New commercial development takes shape near M180

Hargreaves Land has announced the launch of Forge Point, a new employment park spanning 77 acres near junction 3 of the M180 in Scunthorpe. The site offers nearly one million sq ft of potential commercial space and is positioned within the Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan, an area earmarked for mixed-use development.

The project forms part of a broader 550-acre scheme established in 2023 as a joint venture between Hargreaves Land and receivers from Watling Real Estate. The site is zoned for a variety of commercial uses, including manufacturing, offices, high-tech business units, and hotel facilities.

Forge Point is being marketed with both design-and-build packages and individual plot sales, targeting investors, developers, and owner-occupiers. Property agents PPH Commercial and Avison Young have been appointed as joint marketing partners.

The location is intended to benefit from proximity to a significant residential expansion, which will deliver over 6,000 new homes alongside retail and leisure amenities, creating a large built-in customer and workforce base. With strong transport links and scope for scalable development, Forge Point represents one of the largest new commercial property opportunities in North Lincolnshire.
