Wales Property Laurence Kilgannon

One of the largest employment development sites in South Wales has been brought to market, with Knight Frank appointed as agent by the Welsh Government.

The commercial property consultancy is marketing the 36-acre Rhyd y Blew industrial site at Ebbw Vale, where recent Welsh Government and European funding of £1.6m has enabled the construction of infrastructure including roads and services to be completed.

The site is broadly rectangular in shape and was created as a restored landform following opencast coal working in the 1970s.

Rhyd y Blew is located close to the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road and is in Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone.

Neil Francis, partner in the industrial agency team of Knight Frank in Cardiff, said: "While it is envisaged that the land would be developed as a manufacturing site it could also be used for other employment purposes such as distribution and warehousing – or could provide an ideal site for an office park."
