Richard Tovey, director at Gregory Projects, said: “The property has been vacant for some time and we are pleased to bring it back into use.
"The strength of the location has attracted an excellent tenant line-up enabling funding to be secured at an early stage in the project.
"We look forward to working with the appointed builder and professional team to deliver the scheme for Rotherham and in particular, the Parkgate and Rawmarsh communities."
The Leeds office of GVA has advised Gregory Projects on the pre-lettings, Walker Morris acted for Gregory Projects in the site purchase, funding and lettings. Shulmans advised Bramall Properties Ltd.
