Work under way on £25m Chadderton logistics development
Work has started on Broadway Central, a £25m 110,000 sq ft logistics development in Chadderton, near Oldham.
Developer Chancerygate, which has an office in Warrington, is delivering the Grade A urban logistics and industrial development which will comprise an eight-unit scheme, seven units across two terraces ranging from 7,600 sq ft to 18,200 sq ft and one stand alone unit of 27,000 sq ft.
All units are available on a leasehold basis.
The scheme is being built by Warrington-based Triton Construction, which won a competitive tender for the £8.5m construction contract. Practical completion on the scheme is expected in summer 2023.
Chancerygate acquired the 6.58-acre site last July from FO Developments, which is a consortium comprising Oldham Council, Grasscroft Property and Seddon Developments.
The consortium delivered the wider Broadway Green development which is a 121-acre mixed-use scheme on former agricultural land in the Chadderton and Foxdenton Boroughs of Oldham. Broadway Green has a new spine road connecting the A663 Broadway and B6189 Foxdenton Lane.
Ultimately it will have up to 700,000 sq ft of employment space. In addition, there will be 500 new homes and 25 acres of public open space in a linear park.
Chancerygate development manager, Andy Farrer, who is based in the company’s Warrington office, said: “Broadway Central will deliver a high specification, sustainable urban logistics and industrial development to help satisfy the strong demand for this type of accommodation in the North West.
“The scheme is in a prominent location within the established Broadway Green development, and since receiving planning consent, we have experienced a great deal of interest from prospective occupiers. We look forward to delivering a development that will serve the needs of businesses in the region.”
Founded in 1995, Chancerygate is a large multi-unit urban logistics property developer and asset manager.
In addition to Warrington, the company has offices in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Milton Keynes. It currently has more than 3.5 million sq ft of industrial space under construction or ready for development across 32 sites ranging from Bournemouth to Edinburgh.
Agents for Broadway Green are Davies Harrison and Avison Young.
