Chase heating up for
“Portrack’s best industrial
unit and office space”
THE RACE
IS ON
Mandale's Joe Darragh says there is first-
class office space at Pennine House.
T
he former Teesside home of Race
for Furniture is attracting much
interest from firms looking for a new
headquarters or distribution facility
after undergoing a major refurbishment from
property specialists Mandale.
Having undergone a six-figure investment,
the close proximity of Pennine House to the
A19 and A66 makes it perfect for any firms
looking to distribute throughout the region,
providing easy access to roads leading to
Newcastle, Darlington, Leeds and beyond.
Situated just off Portrack Lane on the North
Tees Industrial Estate, the renovated two-
storey unit faces Mandale’s own state-of-the-
art HQ, which the company itself refurbished.
Next door to Mandale is Rinus Roofing,
who lease their building from the property
specialist after another stylish, full-scale
renovation to premises previously occupied
by Budget Windows.
Joe Darragh, Mandale’s head of property
development, is not surprised by the
interest in the unit.
He said: “Portrack is as good a base for a
business as you will find – and, to my mind,
there is no question that this is the best
industrial unit and office space on Portrack.
“When it comes to industrial
warehousing premises, it’s absolutely
perfect as a head office or distribution
facility for a thriving engineering firm,
builders’ or plumbing merchant, fabrication
or plant hire centre.
“Portrack is renowned for retail, of
course, but it’s also a real centre for
builders’ merchants and heavy usage.
“Pennine House looks like new, with
a big unit at the front, a large yard in the
centre and a storage facility and car parking
at the back. All of the offices have been
refurbished to an incredibly high standard.”
