Wakemans appointed to £29m speculative industrial schemes

Birmingham-based property and construction consultancy Wakemans has been appointed on a quartet of industrial developments with a combined value of £29m, including the first speculatively built schemes to come into key local markets for some time.

Wakemans is acting as employer’s agent, quantity surveyor and principal designer on behalf of Trebor Developments.

Currently in the design and planning stage, three of the shell unit developments are located across the South West in Bristol, Avonmouth and Swindon, and one is in Shropshire.

In Hortonwood, Trebor Developments is to build a 70,000 sq ft industrial unit.

Andrew Hancock, divisional director at Wakemans, says: “We look forward to supporting Trebor Developments with these important industrial developments, which are part of a pipeline of more than two million square feet of accommodation that the company plans to deliver during the coming 12 months.”

Mark Wright, partner at Trebor Developments, added: “We are delighted to be working with Wakemans on this key part of our development pipeline. The Wakemans team has extensive experience in this sector and has brought some great ideas to the table to help us deliver attractive and efficient buildings.”
