1.1 million sq ft Amazon facility completes

Logistics property developer Verdion has completed a 1.1 million sq ft distribution facility for Amazon.

The new facility is located at Verdion’s 6 million sq ft iPort development near Doncaster, at a strategic rail freight interchange in South Yorkshire.

The bespoke warehouse is 0.5 kilometres in length – the size equivalent of 14 football pitches – with an interior fit-out design and specification that is unique to Amazon.

John Clements, European development director, Verdion, comments: “We are delighted to have completed on schedule, less than 12 months after signing the deal with Amazon – extremely quick for such a large and complex project.”

Earlier this year it started on the second phase of the £500m iPort development, more than 2 million sq ft of which is already let to Fellowes, CEVA and Lidl.

Gent Visick, CBRE and Colliers are letting agents for iPort.

iPort consists of speculatively built units as well as design and build space from 50,000 sq ft to 1 million sq ft and includes a dedicated 35 acre rail freight facility, providing services with continental gauge clearance to all major UK ports and the Channel Tunnel.

Verdion is a European real estate investor and developer of logistics warehousing, with a €1bn portfolio of Grade A logistics space.

The London-headquartered developer was founded in 2010 by Michael Hughes, and has a current development pipeline exceeding 10 million sq ft
