Location

Waterfront Business Park is a well-established office and light industrial park, comprising nine self-contained units. Accessed from the A461 Dudley Road and Waterfront Way, the Park is located within 8 minutes’ walk of Merry Hill, a top 10 regional shopping centre with over 200 stores, food, beverage and leisure outlets.

It also forms part of the wider Waterfront complex, comprising both Waterfront East and West business parks. The area known as The Waterfront overlooks an attractive canal marina and provides an ideal location to unwind after work with an array of bars and restaurants, including the Copthorne Hotel and PureGym fitness centre.

Occupiers who have chosen Waterfront Business Park include Higgs & Sons Solicitors, Emerson Network Power Ltd, West Midlands Ambulance Service, HMRC and Royal Mail. Also see 8 Waterfront Business Park for a unique hybrid building comprising production area, warehouse and offices for sale in Brierley Hill.

Merry Hill Bus Station provides direct connections to Cradley Heath train station, Dudley, Halesowen, Stourbridge, Walsall, West Bromwich, Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The bus station was recently remodelled to provide real-time information boards and new enclosed shelters with covered walkways and automatic doors.

The property is 3.5 miles from Dudley town centre and approximately 6 miles from Junction 2 of the M5, linking the West Midlands and wider motorway network.

Midland Metro Extension

The Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Midland Metro extension is planned for completion by the end of 2023. The new line will extend the already successful Metro service further into the heart of the Black Country, providing links to local bus services, the existing national rail network and proposed HS2 network.

It will reduce journey times between the strategic centres of the region, particularly to Dudley town centre and Merry Hill. Fast and frequent services along the new line will comprise 17 stops, including The Waterfront and Merry Hill. The journey between Brierley Hill and Birmingham is estimated to be 53 minutes, and between Brierley Hill and Dudley approximately 13 minutes. The investment will also act as a trigger for economic growth in the region with 2,000 new homes, almost one million sq ft of commercial space and the creation of over 30,000 new jobs.

Brierley Hill has a catchment of 2.9 million people within a 45-minute drive, and a workday population within the town itself of 70,000 people, mainly centred around The Waterfront. Due to its higher than average rate of home ownership, Brierley Hill is a relatively affluent area. However, it also provides a plentiful local workforce with average salary levels below regional and national levels.
