Goodman leases 130,000 sq ft Bardon shed
Goodman has signed an agreement to lease with Allport Cargo Services to occupy a 130,000 sq ft distribution warehouse at its Interlink 130 development situated in Bardon, Leicestershire.
The project was developed in partnership with Wilson Bowden Developments.
Allport Cargo Services has agreed a 10-year lease to occupy the recently completed facility to fulfil a new contract with a leading retailer.
The new distribution centre which was completed in March last year, features 124,611 sq ft of warehouse space together with 6,068 sq ft of offices.
Goodman development director Nigel Dolan said: “We are very pleased to welcome Allport Cargo Services to Interlink Park and to be able to support their requirements for additional space to grow into.
The signing of this lease fully vindicates our decision to press ahead with development in Bardon and the construction of this facility in partnership with Wilson Bowden. It comes in the face of continued strong demand from local occupiers throughout the East Midlands for new space to expand into”
Goodman Logistics UK managing director Charles Crossland said: “Throughout the East Midlands in particular we are experiencing strong, repeat demand from our customers for grade A logistics and distribution accommodation to expand into from across our expanding portfolio.
“In the 2016 year to date, we have already leased approximately one million sq ft of distribution space to leading occupiers at our Commercial Park Developments in Northampton and Derby, together with Interlink Park, Bardon.
“With further additional development, already underway and expected to commence shortly, together with opportunities for bespoke development across our growing land bank, we expect to make further announcements in due course concerning the progress we are making”
Wilson Bowden development manager Henry Henson said: “We are delighted to complete the agreement to lease with Allport Cargo Services. This letting represents the strong demand from the distribution sector, to acquire Grade A logistics space in prime locations, such as Interlink Park, Bardon.”
Agents on the development were CBRE and Avison Young.
