Logistics hub opportunity at Winsford Gateway development
The UK’s first industrial park to become a Business Improvement District has released a huge logistics hub and two potential industrial and factory units.
Rula Developments has launched new opportunities comprising nearly 350,000 sq ft of industrial, logistics and roadside/retail accommodation at its flagship Winsford Gateway site in Cheshire.
The plots now available include a significant 225,067 sq ft logistics HQ building on its own 12.6-acre site and two design and build units offering 75,508 sq ft and 27,728 sq ft. of industrial space.
Rula has also released a site with potential for six new trade counter units ranging from 1,684 sq ft to 3,058 sq ft alongside two further plots suitable for roadside/retail uses.
Winsford Gateway is a 30-acre industrial land release under development by Rula and Build and Thrive, a partnership between Cheshire West & Chester Council and Public Sector Plc (PSP).
The site is located five miles from J18 of the M6, the site is 25 miles from Manchester, 36 miles from Liverpool and 65 miles from Birmingham.
Anthony Clitheroe, development director at Rula Developments said: “We believe that our varied opportunities deliver the right product at the right time in Cheshire with capacity to create up to 600 jobs when fully occupied.
“Having already completed works on a new main access road and site infrastructure we can offer bespoke design and building opportunities for well-located large scale logistics operations through to mid-size business space and smaller retail uses.”
As the first industrial estate in the UK to become a Business Improvement District (BID), Winsford Gateway is home to nearly 150 businesses, employing around 4,000 people.
The roadside plots are situated at the main entrance to the site where BP, Londis, Subway and Greggs are already located. With two plots under offer, two further plots of 0.66 acre and 0.375 acre remain for sale or to let.
Rula has signed up Tiger Trailers to a 168,000 sq ft factory and more recently completed a 1.6-acre roadside petrol filling station with retail units for The Kay Group as well as a new 60,000 sq ft facility for Rent A Space.
Rula Developments is a privately owned commercial development company specialising in developing sites across the UK.
Legat Owen and CBRE are appointed agents to market Winsford Gateway.
