120,000 sq ft of commercial space completed in second phase of industrial and logistics scheme
St. Modwen has completed the construction of an additional 120,000 sq ft of commercial space at its 1 million sq ft Burton Gateway Industrial and Logistics site.
The second phase of development was approved by East Staffordshire Borough Council in August 2017 and functions as a multi-purpose space for storage, industrial and distribution ranging from 25,000 sq ft to 65,000 sq ft.
Contractor GMI started on-site in Spring 2018.
The site is one of the largest warehouse developments in the Midlands and is a key employment site for East Staffordshire. It is already home to Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, who last year took a 10-year lease on a speculatively developed 87,000 sq ft building on the site.
Rob Richardson, senior development manager at St. Modwen, said: “This latest phase of speculative development is a mark of St. Modwen’s intention to meet the growing need for high-quality and well connected space at a number of its key development sites. St. Modwen is committed to providing the Midlands with quality places to work, allowing regional and national businesses to thrive.”
St. Modwen has also recently secured planning consent for the third phase of construction totalling 104,000 sq ft at Burton Gateway, which further contributes to the developer’s intention to double the footprint of its industrial and logistics schemes in the Midlands and North region.
Knight Frank and Savills are joint agents on the scheme.
