"The facility is well-positioned for nationwide logistics requirements, boasting strong access both north-south and east-west across the UK, and a strong and available labour force. It’s an excellent new addition to Blackbrook’s portfolio.”
The Grade A, smart logistics space is expected to achieve a BREEAM Excellent certification on completion.
The building, which developers claim is carbon neutral, offers 381,150 sq ft of warehouse/industrial space, as well as Grade A two-storey office accommodation totalling more than 24,000 sq ft with a gatehouse and 256 car parking spaces. 26 EV charging points will also be on site.

Mike Baugh, executive director at CBRE said: “With demand in the region outstripping supply, the investment by Blackbrook into this smart logistics facility is very welcome and sought after.
"Carbon neutrality is no longer a question of choice, it is beyond a necessity. It is also ideally placed to capitalise on excellent, high quality logistics connections, as well as attracting talent from a large workforce.”
