Hotpod Yoga will be the first tenant to locate to the new units created in the former Co-op department store on Elder Way.

Chris Wilkinson, owner of the new Hotpod Yoga Chesterfield franchise, has signed a 10-year lease on unit 7, a 1,420 sq ft unit located at the top of Elder Way near Saltergate.

Chris Wilkinson

He said: “I love the location. It is prominently located in the town centre and offers convenient parking for customers. It is a beautiful building, full of history and fresh energy. I am very much looking forward to opening the studio.”

Hotpod Yoga Chesterfield will open to the public on Thursday 18 April.

The new Hotpod Yoga unit is one of seven street level units and large basement that have been created by regeneration specialist Jomast Developments. Additionally, there is a 92-bed Premier Inn hotel which has been successfully trading on the upper two floors of the building since 2019.

Mark Hill, Jomast’s Commercial Property Director welcomed Hotpod Yoga Chesterfield to Elder Way saying: “The addition of Hotpod Yoga to Elder Way brings forward the health and wellbeing element we envisaged for the building when we redeveloped it. Elder Way offers an ideal location for businesses. Not only is it an iconic building, but it is centrally located and benefits from excellent amenities and footfall from surrounding businesses, all of which have been further boosted by Chesterfield Borough Council’s investment in the town centre.”

Councillor Tricia Gilby, Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, said: “It is fantastic to be able to welcome a new business to the town centre and I am delighted that they have chosen to be based on Elder Way. Following on from the redevelopment of the old Co-op department store we invested in improving the paving and area from Elder Way along Packers Row as part of our Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield project.

“This investment has helped create a more attractive area and we will begin work on the wider project in the marketplace later this year. Using external funding to help improve our town centre is about creating an environment where businesses and visitors want to be, which will help grow our local economy.

“I wish Chris all the best with his new business venture, and I look forward to welcoming more businesses to Elder Way in the future.”

Work is now underway to install the heated pod, showers, toilets, changing and reception areas ahead of the opening next month.

Chris commented: “The unit is a real blank canvas which is making for a straightforward fit out.”

As a former NHS mental health nurse, Chris, who is also a qualified yoga teacher, aims to offer both health and wellbeing benefits through the yoga classes which will be delivered by fully qualified instructors. Classes, which are suitable for all levels, will run seven days a week from 6.30am.

The opening of the new yoga studio at Elder Way brings the Hotpod Yoga brand back to Chesterfield. Previously owned by another franchisee, and located at Chesterfield FC, the studio was forced to close amid the Covid crisis.

Chris commented: “I am delighted to bring the Hotpod Yoga brand back to Chesterfield. There was demand for it then and I believe demand has increased further as people recognise the mental health benefits of hot yoga as the heat enables the mind to become more focussed.”

Launched in 2013, Hotpod Yoga is now Europe’s largest yoga business with around 70 locations, including Sheffield and Derby.

Six units now remain available at Elder Way with joint agents, WSB Property and FHP, reporting strong interest from a number of operators. Download the new brochure here

Jomast is set to showcase Elder Way to the Chesterfield and north Derbyshire business community at the 2024 Celebrate Chesterfield Business Expo.

The Expo is part of the annual Celebrate Chesterfield Business Conference which is being held at the Winding Wheel on Wednesday 20 March.

Elder Way will be exhibited on Stand 11 in the Investment Zone at the Expo which highlights available property and construction opportunities in the area.  This is the third year elder Way has attended and exhibited at Celebrate Chesterfield.

The Expo takes place before the conference which, this year, will hear from the first mayoral candidates, Ben Bradley and Claire Ward and Matthew Relf, who are in the running for the new East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA). The mayoral election is set to take place on Thursday 2 May 2024.

The EMCCA will bring forward £1.14 billion of investment for Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Derby City and Nottingham City over the next 30 years, unlocking economic growth and jobs, as well as significant funding and devolved powers for transport, skills and adult education, housing, the environment, and economic development.

The event will also highlight the big impact that small innovations have on the town’s economic growth, focusing on investment, regeneration, and entrepreneurial successes.

Elder Way is one of Chesterfield’s regeneration successes with the site featuring prominently in the Chesterfield Investment Prospectus. Developer Jomast has transformed the town’s former Co-op department store located in an iconic mock Tudor 1930s building.

In addition to a large basement, Elder Way now offers eight street level contemporary units in a prime location in Chesterfield town centre. Already home to a 92-bedroom Premier Inn hotel, the units at Elder Way offer a unique opportunity for tenants at Elder Way to benefit from guest spend.

Research by Whitbread PLC, the UK’s largest hospitality business and owner of Premier Inn, has found that guests staying at a Premier Inn spend on average, £79 a night in the local area.

Organised by Destination Chesterfield the annual Celebrate Chesterfield Business Conference attracts over 250 delegates and is now in its thirteenth year.

The hospitality sector continues to grow in Chesterfield, with eating and drinking with friends and family placing itself front and centre in spending in the town’s post Covid economy.

Hospitality is growing at almost double the rate of the UK economy (5.9%), and is set to continue its growth as a number of new eating and drinking trends are set to take the sector by storm in the year ahead.

And with seven spacious street level units ready for occupiers at Elder Way, now is the perfect time for food and drink businesses to either expand in Chesterfield or make the move to the town in 2024.

Here are the top five food and drink trends that could be coming to an eatery or bar in Chesterfield this year:

1. Sustainably sourced food

Increased awareness of how food has arrived on our plates, e.g. miles travelled, provenance, etc., means more customers are choosing to eat and drink in venues that can prove their food is sourced sustainably.

For bars, cafes and restaurants based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and neighbouring South Yorkshire are rich in high quality and diverse food and drink producers that can support a business’ commitment to sustainability. From chutneys and pickles from The Crooked Pickle to Northern Tea Merchants, which roasts its own coffee on site, and spirits from Derbyshire Distillery, Elder Way sits at the heart of Chesterfield’s generously stocked pantry.

2. Small Plates and Tapas

Small plates and tapas have long been on the menu, but in 2024 they will be getting a makeover. No longer limited to meatballs and humus, this year will see the rise in popularity of regional dishes offered for diners to try and share. Located in Chesterfield which sits close to Sheffield, Elder Way is the perfect location to offer up both Derbyshire and Yorkshire’s regional food; think Hartington Stilton, Dovedale Blue, Derbyshire Oatcakes, Sheffield Fishcake and, of course, Yorkshire Pudding.

3. Classic cocktails

 No longer content with a G&T, drinkers want to try ‘new to them’ classic cocktails made by an in-house mixologist. Fancy being 007? Try a Gin Martini (shaken not stirred!). Taste the golden era of Hollywood with a whisky-based Old-Fashioned.

4. Vegan and Vegetarian

 This month its ‘Veganuary’ – where millions of people all over the world are encouraged to try vegan food in January and beyond. It’s no surprise, therefore, that Matty Matheson chef and restaurateur believes that 2024 will see a surge in “vegetable-forward restaurants.” He says: “I think people are now understanding how to cook vegetables in a way that’s more profound and more exhilarating for their customers and for themselves.”

Chesterfield boasts both a vegan (Vegged) and vegetarian restaurant (Thyme to Eat) restaurant, but there’s room for more, particularly a town centre vegan restaurant, and Elder Way is the perfect location for one!

5. Paint and Sip

 Paint & Sip is a US phenomenon that has crossed the Pond. As the name suggests, you unleash your inner Picasso and paint while you drink…in a bar with friends. A simple but effective experience concept that is springing up all over the UK but has yet to hit Chesterfield. Invest in Elder Way and be the first to bring this fun concept to the town!

 

If you’re looking for a Chesterfield town centre presence to make the most of 2024’s hospitality trends, then Elder Way is the ideal location. It is centrally located and surrounded by offices, retailers and homes.

The accessible, street-level units, all with glazed frontages, offer tenants a flexible and blank canvas for their business and range in size from 1,420 sq.ft to 16,076 sq.ft. Additionally, there is 16,285sq.ft of gym/D2 space in the basement of the building.

Chesterfield’s town centre businesses are set to benefit from a number of key council projects as well as an already packed calendar of events in 2024.

With Elder Way occupying a pivotal site in the town centre, that means businesses based in and around the iconic development will see additional footfall throughout the year.

A number of key town centre projects are on the doorstep of Elder Way, including the Chesterfield Waterside scheme, the Revitalising Heart of Chesterfield scheme, and The Stephenson Memorial Hall renovation which will see it transformed into a world class theatre and museum in 2024.

The £340million Chesterfield Waterside scheme, which sits adjacent to Chesterfield town centre, is part of Chesterfield Borough Council’s overall Town Centre Masterplan which will see public spaces, including the historic market, revitalised.

Investment in the town centre is helping Chesterfield attract a number of new businesses and events. Vicar Lane Shopping Centre welcomed five new businesses in 2023 alone, including Y Not Vintage, Street Spirit and Coffee#1, putting the units at Vicar Lane at 90% occupancy.

Shaun Brown, Vicar Lane Centre Manager said “I am delighted in the interest in Vicar Lane, both from visitors and potential occupiers. We have really focussed our efforts on welcoming independents to the scheme this year as well as supporting our current tenants. The management team aim to provide a great experience for everyone here so it’s fantastic to see the hard work and changes have paid off.”

And it’s not just new businesses that the town centre is attracting. The success of the inaugural Peddler Street Market and Eat in the Park events in 2023, will see their return in 2024.

Chesterfield’s popular 1940s market is also moving from November to Spring in 2024. Dates have still to be announced for other key town centre events like the Medieval Fund Day and Christmas Lights Switch On.

Dates, however have already been announced for a number of events taking place in and around the town centre in 2024 including:

07 January               Chesterfield Vegan Market

04 February             Chesterfield Vegan Market

26 – 27 January       Chesterfield CAMRA Beer Festival

Events are key to increasing the visitor economy of the town; which is one of the key targets in the 2023-27 Chesterfield Growth Strategy.

With its key position in the town centre, businesses based  within the units at Elder Way are ideally located to benefit from the additional footfall events bring into Chesterfield.

The fully accessible street level units beneath the Premier Inn hotel provide an excellent location for businesses looking to capitalise on the town’s growing visitor economy and Town Centre Masterplan.

The stunning new winter art installation at Elder Way has a very special connection to the iconic building’s past as a former Co-op department store.

Commissioned by Jomast, and created by arts charity Junction Arts, the window’s designer, Chesterfield artist Lucie Maycock, has a personal connection to the building. Her mother, Karen Maycock was the Display Supervisor for the Co-op department store.

Lucie (left) and Karen (right)

Karen dressed the windows at the old department store for over 30 years before it closed in 2013 ahead of Jomast purchasing the building and transforming it into a Premier Inn hotel and seven street level units.

During the creation of the artwork, Karen was on hand to help Lucie with the design, revisiting her old place of work to ensure that the window display was perfect.

The display, entitled ‘We are all artists and creators’, includes original illustrations, which frame a stunning collection of lanterns that have been made by the local community over the last three decades, for the annual Bolsover Lantern Parade which is organised by Junction Arts.

The artwork is designed to not only shine a light on the transformation of the iconic building but also Junction Arts, and the work the charity does within the community.

Lucie said: “When Junction Arts asked me to create the window display on Elder Way in the old Co-op building, I was excited by the idea. Not just about the project itself but the link to my Mum and her career as a window dresser in the same building. I grew up seeing my Mum in the windows of this beautiful department store, I remember walking home from school via town to see if I could see her and knock on the window to say hi and show all my friends that this is what she did as a job.

“I asked my Mum if she wanted to help create the arrangements for the window display. She was really excited about going back there and helping me to make the fabulous creation come to life. I am so lucky to have her skills and expertise to help execute this project, it’s a real privilege.

“Drawing onto the window was a wonderful experience. I kept imagining that this was how my Mum would have felt for all those years she spent at the Co-op. As people walked by, they were so friendly, saying hi, asking what I was doing and generally being wonderful. I felt emotionally connected to the artwork, space and purpose of this project.

“Doing this window for Junction Arts was a pleasure and I feel privileged to be promoting my passion for community arts whilst working with my Mum, and being able to put myself in the same place she did so many times.”

The stunning artwork will be on display in the Elder Way window opposite the Co-op Bank until spring 2024.  Visit it at dark to see the effect of more than 7,000 lights in the display.

A new art installation, entitled ‘We are all artists and creators’ has been unveiled at Elder Way ahead of Chesterfield’s Christmas lights switch on which takes place on Sunday 19 November 2023.

Jomast, developer of the former Co-op department store building on Elder Way into seven street level units and Premier Inn hotel, has collaborated with local charity, Junction Arts to bring colour and light to the iconic building this winter as well as tell the story of Junction Arts and the work it does in the community.

Artist Lucie Maycock has created the beautiful window artwork, which includes original illustrations, which frame a stunning collection of lanterns that have been made by the local community over the last three decades, for the annual Bolsover Lantern Parade.

Over 7,000 lights have been used to bring the artwork to life. People can see the display in the window located opposite the Co-op Bank on Elder Way, which is best viewed in the evening when the lanterns are lit up.

Junction Arts is an award-winning participatory arts charity, that was established in 1976 to develop and deliver engaging arts experiences within disadvantaged areas, to improve wellbeing, build confidence and skills, address inequality and inspire change.  The local charity runs several projects throughout the year as well as organising events including The Chesterfield Children’s Festival, Tapton Lock Festival and Bolsover Lantern Parade.

Junction Arts Managing Director, Emily Bowman said: “Thank you to Jomast for giving us this opportunity to showcase community art in the town centre, it’s great to see the lanterns as the centrepiece to the design, as we are celebrating 30 years of the Bolsover Lantern Parade this year. We hope that Lucie and Karen’s amazing work will bring light and hope to people, inspiring them to get creative in their communities.  The window perfectly reflects the work we do in Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire and I hope it encourages more people to engage with us in the future.”

Jomast’s Commercial Property Director Mark Hill said: “We’re all really excited by the artwork that Lucie is creating. Her link to the building’s former use as a Co-op department store is remarkable and we couldn’t think of anyone better placed to bring one of the new units to life with this stunning artwork. The lanterns really will shine a light on this beautiful building and its redevelopment.”

Hospitality has been recognised as one of the top sectors for strong business activity in Chesterfield. And, with no signs of slowing down, the units at Elder Way are ideally located for businesses now looking for a prime town centre location in Chesterfield.

The eight street level units with glazed frontages, that have been created in the iconic building, are ideal for café, bar and restaurant operators looking to be part of Chesterfield’s hospitality success story.

Chesterfield Borough Council reports that in 2022 alone, 10% more new hospitality businesses were launched in Chesterfield compared to the previous year. The increase is attributed to Chesterfield’s growing visitor economy, which attracted 3.7 million people in 2022 (20% more than 2021).

The growth of the town’s visitor economy is expected to grow significantly. Earlier this year Chesterfield Borough Council announced its bold ambition to increase the value of its visitor economy by 20% by 2030.

The Premier Inn Town Centre hotel, which is located above the units at Elder Way, has been benefitting from Chesterfield’s growing visitor economy since 2019.  Guests regularly rate it five stars on TripAdvisor, praising its central location, nearby secure parking facilities, and proximity to Chesterfield Train Station.

To enable more businesses to benefit from the opportunities on offer at Elder Way, there are now a number of units available at the 21,761 sq ft scheme, from smaller E Class and Sui Generis Bar units of 1,420 sq ft upwards to larger units of up to 4,704 sq ft.

And it’s not only hospitality that is performing well in Chesterfield, figures from the Office of National Statistics reveal that start-up businesses are going from strength-to-strength in the town.

The data shows that businesses based in Chesterfield consistently enjoy significantly higher survival rates than the national average with 62% of companies started in 2018 still trading after three years, compared to 54% for all of the UK. Similar figures were recorded for businesses founded in 2016 and 2017.

The figures were revealed at Chesterfield’s annual Investment Summit which was attended by domestic and commercial property investors and business leaders from

Dr Huw Bowen, Chief Executive of Chesterfield Borough Council, who spoke at the Summit said: “New business activity is booming in Chesterfield, which is seeing growth from homegrown start-ups and those relocating to the town from elsewhere. These outcomes are the fruits of a purposeful strategy to secure new business investment in Chesterfield and help our existing businesses to grow.”

Joint agents, WSB Property and FHP, who are acting for Elder Way, report interest in the units from not only hospitality operators, but also retail, health and beauty, and gym businesses.

Research has found that guests staying at Premier Inn Chesterfield Town Centre, which is located in the former Co-op department store on Elder Way, are each spending, on average, £79 a night in the local area.

Whitbread PLC, the UK’s largest hospitality business and owner of Premier Inn, carried out the research. It found that Premier Inn guests typically spend £137 externally on items such as entertainment, with £79/night (56% of the total spending) being spent in the local area within which their chosen Premier Inn is located.

The comprehensive study by Whitbread involved surveying more than 12,600 Premier Inn guests staying in 357 Premier Inn hotels across the UK within 24-hours of check-out.

Alex Flach, UK Development Director in the UK & Ireland for Whitbread, said: “From shopping to sight-seeing, local dining to local drinks, this analysis shows the positive economic impact of Premier Inn hotels on local economies across nations and regions of the UK.

“As a business, we are committed to using our scale and national footprint to make a positive difference to people’s lives and to create long-term value. We are delighted that, for the first time, we can demonstrate clear evidence of the economic impact our hotels have on the communities they serve.”

The Premier Inn Chesterfield Town Centre, which is located on the upper two floors of the former Co-op department store on Elder Way, has proved popular since opening, with nearly 90% of guests rating it as either excellent or very good on TripAdvisor.

The 92-bedroom hotel was opened in 2019 following the transformation of the upper floors of the iconic building by regeneration specialist Jomast. The hotel also benefits from the proximity of a secure car park, Saltergate Multi-Storey, which opened the same year.

Jomast subsequently went on to transform the ground floor of the building into eight large street level units with contemporary glazed frontages.

There are currently a number of leasing opportunities available at the 21,761 sq ft scheme, from smaller E Class and Sui Generis Bar units of 1,420 sq ft upwards to larger units of up to 4,704 sq ft.

Joint agents for Elder Way, WSB Property Consultants and FHP are now marketing the units at food, drink, entertainment, retail and clinical operators.

Mark Hill, Commercial Property Director of Jomast said: “We have worked with Premier Inn to bring the hotel chain to a number of Jomast’s developments throughout the country. We recognise that having Premier Inn as an anchor tenant is very attractive to tenants of our schemes, and Whitbread’s research into guest spend in the local area supports this.”

Food and drink and entertainment were the top categories of spending for Premier Inn guests followed by non-food shopping and travel.

Whitbread calculates that spending by its guests on food, drinks, entertainment, shopping, and local transportation could be contributing £1.6 billion annually to those catchments that have a Premier Inn. This is equivalent to an average annual benefit of £3.3 million in visitor expenditure for local businesses in each Premier Inn hotel location.

Chesterfield’s businesses are set to benefit from further hotel investment in the town after the Holywell Hotel received the green light from planning officers recently.

Located next to the town’s well-known Holywell Cross or ‘Donut’ roundabout in the heart of Chesterfield, developer of Holywell Hotel, Voeberg, is set to undertake a £1 million refurbishment of the Grade II listed building.

The building will be converted into one two-bedroom and eight one-bedroom apartments for use as short-stay accommodation.

Emily Smith, Property Investor and Mentor at Voeberg commented on the ‘imminent’ Holywell Hotel saying: “It’ll complement other hospitality and retail businesses’ offerings in the town and we’re looking forward to partnering with many local businesses through the development and then the running of the hotel.”

Councillor Kate Sarvent, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “We are aiming to attract more tourists and visitors over the next four years and there are a number of new hotel developments planned to support this growth. It is useful to understand how guests at hotels support our wider town centre economy and provide a boost for local businesses.”

Chesterfield is the place to be this summer with a new family-friendly event and sightseeing bus service coming to the town; and Elder Way is perfectly positioned to benefit from the anticipated tourism boom.

As well as having an iconic Crooked Spire, historic market and two theatres, Chesterfield has further added to its tourism offering with a brand new open-top bus tour.

The Peak Sightseer tour capitalises on the town’s proximity to the Peak District National Park which attracts 13 million visitors each year.

Launched by Stagecoach on 1 July this year, the Peak Sightseer tour is part-funded by Derbyshire County Council with government-backed BSIP funding following high demand from the public for better bus connections through the Peak District.

The hop on, hop off bus service starts at Chesterfield Train Station, with pick-ups at Cavendish Street and New Beetwell Street in the town centre – all within easy walking distance of the Premier Inn hotel and business units at Elder Way.

The tour takes passengers on a loop around the White Peak with stops in prime locations including Chatsworth, Bakewell and Hassop station for visitors to the Monsal Trail.

Roads Minister, Richard Holden said: “Supporting Stagecoach in launching a new open top bus tour is great for local residents and tourists, who will now enjoy an even better way to take in some of the most breath-taking views the Peak District has to offer.”

In addition to the new open top bus tour, Chesterfield has also welcomed a brand new event this summer. Eat in the Park is a two-day live music event hosted in Queen’s Park on the 5 and 6 August 2023.

The ticketed event is expected to attract thousands of people over the two days which will include two stages full of entertainment for all the family and food vendors selling food from around the globe.

Eat in the Park has been run successfully since 2021 in Buxton and organisers chose Chesterfield as their next destination for expansion of the event.

One of the Eat in the Park event organisers Jake Burnham explained: “We are extremely excited to bring Eat in the Park to Queen’s Park in Chesterfield – it’s a great town to hold the second event in.”

Earlier this year Chesterfield was also chosen by the organisers of the famous Peddler Market for an additional venue outside Sheffield.

Taking over New Square in Chesterfield town centre for two days in June, Peddler Market brought street food, craft drinks and live music to the town.

Funding to help bring the Peddler Market to Chesterfield was provided through the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). Chesterfield Borough Council received £2.69m of UKSPF funding which will be invested across the borough over the next three years.

Eat in the Park, the Peak Sightseer tour and Peddler Market are just a handful of the initiatives taking place in Chesterfield to enable the town to increase the value of its visitor economy by 20% by 2030. The increase in tourism is expected to bring an additional £32 million into the local economy annually, helping create opportunities for existing and new businesses.

Jo Dilley, Managing Director of Visit Peak District & Derbyshire said: “Growing and developing the town’s tourism offer will not only benefit local businesses, it will also have a positive and lasting effect on local residents and communities. We look forward to working with partners in Chesterfield to support them in achieving this goal and ensuring the visitor economy’s long-term success.”

For businesses looking to invest in the town and benefit from the tourism boom, Elder Way offers an ideal location. Already the iconic site boasts a 92-bedroom Premier Inn hotel on the upper floors, creating an immediate customer base for tenants of the street-level units below.

Each of the seven street-level units benefit from fully glazed frontages and offer complete flexibility in design. Better still, they are ready for tenants to make the move to now in readiness for the town’s Christmas events programme.

Secure parking is also close by at Saltergate muti-storey car park, and the site is located just a short walking distance from Chesterfield Train Station.

If you’re a business looking to benefit from Chesterfield’s growing tourism offering, Elder Way is the place to be 365 days a year.

Jomast has appointed FHP as official joint agents of Elder Way – a pivotal site in chesterfield town centre which has been redeveloped by the leading regeneration specialist into leisure and retail units.

FHP is the dominant retail and leisure agent within the Midlands, with offices in Nottingham, Birmingham and Derby, and has won the EGi East Midlands Most Active Retail Agent award for the last 13 years.

FHP will now work alongside WSB Property to jointly market the Elder Way scheme nationally to potential occupiers.

There are currently a number of leasing opportunities available at the 21,761 sq ft scheme, from smaller E Class and Sui Generis Bar units of 1,420 sq ft upwards to larger units of up to 4,704 sq ft.

Alan Pearson, Director and Head of the Retail and Leisure at FHP commented: “We are pleased to partner with WSB Property to introduce Elder Way to a wider audience across the East Midlands the units are suitable for a variety of uses following the change of the use class order which opens this up to office and clinical use, alongside the traditional retail and leisure use.”

Jomast has transformed the former Co-op department store into a landmark mixed-use leisure scheme comprising seven street-level units and a 16,285 sq. ft. basement. The site is being marketed to food and drink, and gym operators as well as retailers.

Constructed in the 1930s, the site boasts a mock-Tudor frontage and is as renowned as the town’s crooked Spire church.

A Premier Inn hotel already occupies the upper two floors of the building where it has been successfully operating since 2019. Recently Premier Inn owner Whitbread reported that its first-quarter sales came in ahead of last year’s figures, supported by strong demand for travel and leisure and robust performance of its UK hotels.

Elder Way is one of the key developments within Chesterfield Borough Council’s £60million Northern Gateway Scheme which includes and new multi-storey car park, completed in 2021 and an Enterprise Centre opened in 2022. The Enterprise Centre, which has 32 office suites is recording near 100% occupancy just 12 months after opening. Both the Enterprise Centre and Saltergate multi-storey are located within a two-minute walk of Elder Way.

Mark Hill, Commercial Property Director of Jomast added: “We’re committed to creating developments and regenerating properties that have a transformative effect on towns and cities and Elder Way embodies this. It is a pivotal site both in the town centre and the Northern Gateway scheme in Chesterfield.”
