Work starts on 100,000 sq ft industrial units

Work has started on site to build a trio of industrial units totalling 100,000 sq ft at Muse’s flagship Logic Leeds site.

The go-ahead follows the sale of the units by Muse to Leeds City Council for an undisclosed sum.

The three units, which are 33,000 sq ft, 30,000 sq ft and 37,000 sq ft respectively, are scheduled to be completed and ready for occupation by late Spring next year.

The main contractor on the project is GMI Construction.

This is the second land deal that Leeds City Council has concluded at the 110-acre Logic Leeds, having bought an 80,840 sq ft distribution warehouse with offices last year.

Logic Leeds, which also houses a John Lewis distribution hub, is in the Leeds City Region Enterprise Zone.

James Scott, development director with national developer and regeneration specialist Muse, said: “It’s great news that work has now started on site, compounding Logic Leeds’s reputation as a first-class destination for logistics and industrial property.

“This, coming shortly after the signing of the sale agreement between ourselves and Leeds City Council and the granting of planning permission, is a crucial step towards delivering more quality industrial space at Logic Leeds.”

The marketing agents for the three new units are the Leeds office of Knight Frank and Carter Towler.
