“The estate has such a rich history and is benefitting from Columbia Threadneedle’s vision which will elevate this highly popular estate into a modern logistics park.”

Marston Moor is strategically located approximately four miles to the north east of Wetherby and four and a half miles from both Junctions 46 and 47 of the A1(M) Motorway.
