Contractor named to build huge Magna Park logistics unit
Winvic Construction has won the contract to build GLP’s MPN 761 building at Magna Park in Lutterworth.
The 761,000 sq ft big shed is the largest speculative unit that the developer has brought forward to date.
The building comprises a 716,662 sq ft warehouse, an 8,202 sq ft undercroft warehouse, a 1,615 sq ft plant deck and 34,667 sq ft space across a three-storey office and two transport offices. Winvic will fit out the offices to Cat A standards. The project will be handed over to GLP in June 2025.
Danny Nelson, managing director of industrial, distribution and logistics at Winvic, said: “MPN 761 has become a special project for three reasons; it marks Winvic’s construction of 100 million square foot of industrial space, it’s GLP’s largest ever speculative unit and it has brought the start of a new and exciting contractor-client relationship. I’d like to thank GLP for appreciating our industrial sector expertise and ESG credentials, and for appointing us on this next phase at Magna Park.”
Peter Baird, senior construction manager at GLP, added: “We are pleased to be partnering with Winvic to deliver MPN 761 as we embark upon the next important phase of development at Magna Park North.
“This is a testament to our confidence in the resilience of the UK logistics market and the strategic importance of the Midlands in particular. Winvic possess an impressive track record within the industrial sector, and we are pleased to welcome their expertise to our supply chain as we deliver a best-in-class mega distribution unit with occupier demand, technological advancements and environmental, social and governance principles at its core.”
