350,000 sq ft Shropshire industrial scheme to be brought forward
Work has begun on a series of commercial units on a site brought forward through the Telford Land Deal.
350,000 sq ft of industrial space split across four units with a total power offering of 4 MVA will make up the project.
Known as Total Park Telford, the development is being delivered by Total Developments NW and will bring new skills and jobs to Telford and Wrekin.
The four self-contained manufacturing and logistics warehouses, ranging from 55,240 to 126,133 sq ft, will each have their own parking and yard areas and provide a ground-floor open warehouse and office accommodation at first-floor level.
Councillor Lee Carter (Lab), Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Place (the Economy & Neighbourhood Services), said: “The Telford Land Deal continues to be a huge success – delivering new skills, jobs and homes across the borough.
“We are pleased to see this latest development on a Telford Land Deal site come to fruition and these new commercial units are in a prime location in Telford. We look forward to seeing this development taking shape and it’s another excellent example of how land is being brought back into use through the Telford Land Deal.”
Total Developments are expected to complete the first two units towards the end of 2024 and the remaining units will follow in early 2025, albeit the developer can prioritise each of the four units depending on early occupier demand.
Ed Chantler, CEO of Total Developments, said: “Total Park Telford represents a continuation of our clear strategy since inception. Our track record of identifying sites and speculatively developing best-in-class mid-box warehousing and manufacturing space has established our position as market leaders in the 20-150,000 sq ft size range. It gives us the confidence to push on at Telford and ensure the development is expedited to meet demand.
“Our experiences at the likes of Total Park Leeds, Bedford, Theale and Middlewich have made power provision a particular focus on this site.”
