Construction firm completes 100,000 sq ft scheme

Construction firm, Glencar has completed two units for Vengrove, a real estate management firm at Erdington Industrial Park in Birmingham.

Measuring 42,000 and 58,000 sq ft, the two units were built to achieve ESG credentials, including a BREEAM Excellent rating and EPC A rating.

The facilities feature a 10m eaves height, 44m yard depth, roof-mounted PV panels, and both dock level and level access doors.

Glencar managing director Midlands, Pete Goodman said: “This development goes some way towards tackling the shortage of new, high specification mid-box warehousing in Birmingham with occupier demand outstripping supply. Logistics and Industrial is truly at the core of what we do and the best in class ESG specification that features in this development is now firmly established as an industry benchmark.

“In this aspect, Glencar is making significant strides and leading the way in terms of delivering sustainable development that features both reduced carbon in construction and eventual operation. I would like to thank the full professional team on this build who have delivered an exceptional end-product and we look forward to seeing the building in operation.”

Jennie Brown, asset manager at Vengrove said: “We’re thrilled to be launching this best-in-class speculative scheme to the market. The levels of occupier interest we have seen in the units to date, both combined and individually, is a testament to the quality of product that has been delivered by Glencar and the professional team.”
