Panattoni submits plans for additional warehouse in Crewe

The proposed scheme

Fresh from completing the construction of a 240,000 sq ft speculative warehouse at Crewe Commercial Park, Europe’s largest developer of logistics buildings, Panattoni, has submitted plans for a further single warehouse of 305,000 sq ft on the adjacent 14-acre plot.

The developer has submitted a reserved matters application for a warehouse of 291,239 sq ft, along with 13,864 sq ft of integrated three-storey offices and a security gatehouse.

The site occupies a prominent position adjacent to the A500, offering easy access to J16 of the M6.

Once built, the development will add £3m per year into the local economy and bring more than 300 full-time jobs.

Dan Burn, development director at Panattoni, said: “We have been hugely encouraged with the interest that we have received to date for our 240,000 sq ft speculative unit.

“By submitting this application we will ensure that we can respond immediately to occupiers’ requirements and give ourselves the option of a further phase of speculative development at the appropriate time.”

Matthew Byrom, managing director of Panattoni, added: “As a result of its strategic location between the North West and West Midlands conurbations, Crewe has always attracted a strong list of occupiers.

“With proposals for the town to become a hub for HS2, we are confident of robust demand.”

CBRE, Burbage Realty and Legat Owen are the retained agents on the scheme.

Established in 1986 and based in California, Panattoni is the largest privately-owned industrial developer in the world, having delivered buildings for more than 2,500 customers.

In Europe, Panattoni is the largest developer of new-build logistics facilities and in the past two years alone has completed more than 42,000,000 sq ft, representing a product value approaching £3.5bn.

In the UK Panattoni is now positioned as the leading developer of speculative warehousing, with more than 6,000,000 sq ft now committed to build.
