Kitchens and joinery products supplier Howdens has signed for 8,627 sq ft at LCP’s Chase Trade Park in Burntwood, Staffordshire.
The company has signed a 15-year lease on units A1-A3 at the 10-unit park, which offers 51,000 sq ft of space. LCP is negotiating with an international manufacturing company for the 16,400 sq ft block D, leaving six units in block B and C available.
Nick Bryson, director (industrial) at LCP, said: “We’re pleased to confirm that Howdens has agreed to open a new depot at Chase Trade Park, adding to its 800-plus units across the country. When we committed to developing the site, we did so knowing there was demand from businesses for units of this size and with almost half the units already taken, months before the trade park is completed, is testament to that.
“Not only is Chase Trade Park revitalising a derelict piece of land, it is also helping to attract nationally known names and, importantly, jobs to the area. We are in discussions with a number of companies for other units, with advanced talks for block C, and hope to be able to announce further new tenants in the coming weeks.”
Wainwrights is project manager, architect and quantity surveyor, and NU Construction has been appointed contractor at Chase Trade Park.
