150,000 sq ft logistics facility completed as part of £70m investment
Work has now been completed on a 150,000 sq ft logistics building on a site located at the North Nottinghamshire/South Yorkshire border.
Logistics developer db symmetry delivered the new facility at Symmetry Park as part of an overall £70m investment.
The speculative development is the first in the region by db symmetry, which already has consent and is committed to deliver up to 721,000 sq ft of logistics space on the park.
Symmetry Park is located at Junction 34 of the A1 and adjacent to Blyth services.
db symmetry has agreed deals for Euro Garages, to deliver a branded fast food restaurant and coffee shop, and Irizar to build a luxury coach showroom at the entrance to the site.
The new 150,000 sq ft unit, which has potential to expand up to 250,000 sq ft, is now available for immediate occupation.
Andrew Dickman, director at db symmetry said, “We are a cautious developer that is selective on speculative development. Our decision to speculatively build at Symmetry Park comes at a time when there is a strong level of demand but limited availability of high-quality logistics space in the north.
“The 150,000 sq ft building has been designed with great flexibility, allowing for extension up to 250,000 sq ft. The building, coupled with completed full site infrastructure work, now enables us to quickly react to market requirements within that size bracket but also be poised to quickly deliver additional bespoke manufacturing/distribution space up to a 550,000 sq. ft.”
The project team for the project includes Lichfields as planners, Kilmartin Plowman & Partners as architect, Shepherd Gilmour as Engineers, Couch Perry & Wilkes as infrastructure consultants, QS Goodrich Consulting for project management and environmental consultancy Penny Anderson Associates.
