Castle Square Developments has launched Kingsmill Park, an £18m mixed-use development situated between Mansfield and Sutton in Nottinghamshire.

Kingsmill Park will be developed over nine acres of land close to the A38. The site will include 60,000 sq ft of office and industrial space, a 120 bed Express by Holiday Inn hotel, specialist health care facilities supplied by Exemplar Health and a new Toby Carvery. When completed it is hoped that the development will provide in excess of 500 full and part-time jobs. The majority of the site is due for completion by late 2009 although due to the current economic climate the office and industrial space will be completed in phases, with the first phase planned to go on site in early 2009.

Frank Horsley, head of community and economic promotion at Ashfield District Council, told PIN: “The Kingsmill Park development represents another major commercial opportunity along the A38 corridor. The site is strategically placed close to the Mansfield Ashfield Regeneration Route (MARR) which was designed in order to open up new sites for investors. Population growth in this area is the second slowest in the East Midlands and this can only be changed by increasing the number and quality of houses and jobs to attract people in. The Kingsmill Park site, being a combination of leisure and business usage, will have a positive impact on the local housing market due to the work-life balance such a development brings.”
