Green light for 50,000 sq ft Coventry manufacturing facility
A £10.4m manufacturing facility is slated for development in Ansty, Coventry, by the commercial real estate firm Barberry Group.
Following the acquisition of land at Ansty Park, Barberry Group will now construct a 50,750 sq ft industrial complex at Ansty Park.
With detailed planning consent granted by Rugby Borough Council, Barberry aims to construct a manufacturing warehouse with an EPC rating of A and BREEAM Excellent certification.
Situated at the epicentre of the UK’s advanced manufacturing and logistics hub, Ansty Park lies within the ‘Golden Triangle’.
Notable neighbouring occupants include Rolls-Royce, Fanuc, Cadent, MTC, Meggitt, IPG Photonics, and The London Taxi Company.
Jon Robinson, development director at West Midlands-based Barberry, said: “I am extremely excited to announce that we have completed the acquisition of a development site at Viggen Way, Ansty Park. The site has the capability of providing a generous 1 MVA of power and we are very much looking forward to delivering another outstanding advanced manufacturing unit. The building is available for built-to-suit occupier requirements on either a freehold or leasehold basis.
“Ansty Park is a fantastic location for Barberry’s latest development, being one of the most significant business and technology parks in the Midlands. Barberry 50 can be delivered within 12 months of agreeing terms with an occupier and will be built to a market-leading specification ideal for a headquarters for research and development or advanced manufacturing businesses. We continue to see significant occupier demand for new industrial and warehouse units and we are very much looking forward to working with Savills and Cushman & Wakefield acting as our property agents.”
Christian Smith, director of Savills, said: “This multi-functional industrial unit will bring much-needed stock in this size range to Coventry. It is also one of very few new units in the area to be available freehold as well as leasehold and will only add to the high-quality location that is Ansty Business Park.”
