Hortons has submitted a planning application for the redevelopment of Sinfin Commercial Park in Derby.
The masterplan proposes delivering circa 270,000 sq ft of new industrial and logistics space at the 23-acre site across 17 units, ranging in size from 5,000 sq ft to 70,000 sq ft.
Hortons recently commenced demolition works on a redundant 207,000 sq ft warehouse unit at the park, paving the way for the proposed new development, which is located near the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus.
Hortons acquired the vacant unit last year to add to the earlier acquisition of 21 fully occupied warehouse units on the adjoining estate. The company owns an additional eight acres of open storage and development land.
James Slater, head of development at Hortons, said: “Sinfin Commercial Park presents a rare opportunity to transform a strategically located site into a modern, sustainable industrial/logistics hub. Our investment reflects Hortons’ confidence in the logistics market and our commitment to delivering best-in-class facilities that meet occupier demands. This project is part of a wider strategic development programme of larger multi-let shed schemes across the Midlands area.”
The letting agents for the scheme are Avison Young and Innes England.
