Three further lettings at Bridgewater Point urban logistics joint development
Three new lettings have been announced at the 130,000 sq ft urban logistics development, Bridgewater Point, at Trafford Park in Manchester.
Located at 103 Barton Dock Road, the scheme sits on one of the most prominent sites in Trafford Park and benefits from excellent access to Manchester city centre and is one mile from junction 9 of the M60.
Five-year leases have been signed by independent streetwear brand, Unik Clothing, for an 8,770 sq ft unit, while excess stock clearance specialists, Trade Outlet, has taken on a 13,570 sq ft unit.
An international technology communications company has also become one of the scheme’s new occupiers, taking up 12,580 sq ft space at Bridgewater Point.
The scheme is a joint venture between developer, Chancerygate, and real estate private equity firm, Northwood Urban Logistics.
The development comprises 16 high specification Grade A leasehold units, ranging in size from 5,120 sq ft to 13,585 sq ft with the potential to combine units to provide a single unit of 44,695 sq ft.
All the units at Bridgewater Point feature electric vehicle charging points and solar cells on their roofs which provide up to 35% of the units’ energy needs.
In addition, the units are constructed from high performance building materials to reduce CO2 emissions. The scheme has achieved an EPC A and BREEAM Very Good rating.
The three new occupiers at the development join security and fire safety business, Fortus Group, which signed a 10-year lease on a 5,980 sq ft unit at the development earlier in the year. Neighbouring occupiers include Kellogg’s, Amazon, L’Oréal and Adidas.
Chancerygate development manager, Andy Farrer, who is based in the company’s Warrington office, said: “Securing another three occupiers at Bridgewater Point is a testament to the high levels of interest generated by the units at the scheme.
“There remains significant demand for strategically located, sustainable urban logistics accommodation in the Greater Manchester area. Our development at Trafford Park is well placed to satisfy this demand.”
He added: “We continue to see substantial interest for the available spaces at Bridgewater Point.”
JLL, Davies Harrison and DTRE are the joint letting agents on the scheme.
