22-acre site next to MA6NITUDE up for grabs

Commercial property agent Legat Owen has been instructed on the freehold sale of a 22-acre site, next to MA6NITUDE in Middlewich, Cheshire, offering a development opportunity to meet the increasing demand for SME industrial and logistics accommodation in the North West.

Situated within two miles of Junction 18 of the M6 motorway, the site, known as 18:22, has potential for approximately 300,000sq ft of industrial accommodation which could be split into various unit sizes from 10,000sq ft up to 60,000sq ft.

The overall masterplan at Middlewich offers over 1.7 million sq ft of development land in the heart of Cheshire. The Park is home to major distribution companies including B&M Retail, Wincanton and Kuehne + Nagel.

With immediate access to Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and The Potteries via the M6 motorway, the site also benefits from nearby amenities including Starbucks, Travelodge, a petrol filling station and public house.

Acting on behalf of former chief executive of Ireland-based Grafton Group, Legat Owen’s Matt Pochin said: “With DBS Pochin bringing forward large-scale distribution warehouses, 18:22 provides an excellent opportunity to complement this offer by focusing purely on the SME) market, which is severely undersupplied as proven by the full occupancy rate and rental growth of the original Midpoint 18 scheme.

“Together with the excellent location and on site amenities, we anticipate significant interest in 18:22.”
