Global logistics group to develop schemes at five sites totalling 2.3 million sq ft

GLP

Global logistics group GLP has announced plans to speculatively develop a further 2.3 million sq ft of logistics warehousing space at strategic sites across the UK, including Skelmersdale.

The site at G-Park will support a 257,000 sq ft warehouse, which will offer access to the M58 and M6 motorways.

Other sites are situated in Doncaster, Lutterworth, Milton Keys, and Crawley.

The units will each benefit from GLP’s best-in-class specification including wide service yards, significant HGV and car parking allocations, together with dock levelers, level access doors, increased natural light, electric vehicle charging and abundant power supply.

Each development will be BREEAM Excellent, designed to WELL principles and feature a range of sustainability and energy efficiency measures that are designed to continuously improve GLP’s environmental aspirations.

Bruce Topley, managing director, UK, GLP, said: “We are seeing continued strong customer demand for Grade A sustainable warehouse space in our market.

“This is primarily driven by the ongoing growth of ecommerce, coupled with the need for supply chains to be improved further and significant supply constraints.

“These new developments are a response to that exceptional demand.”

He added: “We are committed to investing in our portfolio and offering our customers as much choice and flexibility as possible to respond to their growth needs.

“We are also firmly focused on delivering buildings with less embodied carbon than industry standard and which reduce operational carbon emissions.”
