Work starts on almost 100,000 sq ft of industrial space
Work has started on two industrial units in Birmingham that will meet BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ standards.
The two units at Erdington Industrial Park, sized 42,000 sq ft and 57,000 sq ft, will feature dock level and level access loading doors, a 10m eaves height, PV panels, and a 44m yard.
Vengrove, having acquired the commercial estate earlier this year, has enlisted Glencar Construction for the construction of mid-box units, expected to be completed in Q3 2024.
The developer says it aims to tackle the shortage of quality industrial stock in the West Midlands by delivering the two warehouses at Erdington Industrial Park next year.
Commercial agents at Harris Lamb are tasked with marketing the units.
Neil Slade, of Harris Lamb’s Agency team, said: “For some time the industry has been lamenting the lack of new, high-specification mid-box warehousing in Birmingham with occupier demand having outstripping supply.
“While many landlords have undertaken refurbishment programmes to upgrade their existing buildings to fulfil the ongoing requirements, there has been very little new development within the region, so we are delighted that Vengrove has not only recognised that need but that the business is committed to delivering this much-required scheme.”
Darby Keye Property has been appointed as a joint agent alongside Harris Lamb.
