New drive-through concept to be pioneered in Birmingham

Site of the new BUILT/ concept in Aston

A builder’s merchant is to establish a new drive-thru concept at a new site in Birmingham.

BUILT/ has taken 29,510 sq ft of trade counter space at two units in Bourne Road in Aston on a 10-year lease.

The firm is being supported by a leading industry player and will offer tradespeople a ‘click and collect’ service in which they can drive through the unit to collect their purchases.

The concept could be rolled out to other areas should it prove to be successful.

Cushman & Wakefield acquired the units on behalf of BUILT/, with Darby Keye acting for the landlord, Dunedin.

Edward Kennerley, senior surveyor in Cushman & Wakefield’s National Logistics & Industrial team, said: “We are delighted to have secured the units on Bourne Road for this exciting new entrant to the Birmingham building supplies market.

“BUILT/ is currently in the process of carrying out a comprehensive capital investment to the unit in order to meet their bespoke specification.

“We are currently in the process of sourcing new opportunities for BUILT/ and hope to be able to make further announcements in the near future.”

The new Aston facility is due to open in September.
