Panattoni has acquired a development site in Haydock from Bericote Properties with a view to building a 65,890 sq ft speculative industrial and manufacturing unit on the site.
Construction of Haydock 66, which is located on the A580 East Lancashire Road, will start on site over the summer, with practical completion expected in Q1 2026.
Panattoni is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings for the new facility, which will be equipped with a sprinkler tank area and benefit from rooftop photovoltaic solar panels to support energy efficiency.
Dan Burn, head of development, North West and Yorkshire at Panattoni, said: “This project also reflects Panattoni’s commitment to speculative development across all tenant types, including active growth for SMEs looking to expand in the mid-box market – an increasingly vital segment in the UK’s logistics landscape. The acquisition of Haydock site enhances our strategic position in the Northwest, a region with resilient occupier demand and supply constraints for modern, sustainable industrial stock.
“This development opportunity provides near-term availability, top-tier sustainability credentials, and exceptional infrastructure connections, which makes it highly attractive to a wide range of potential occupiers. We are excited to bring this unit to market and continue building momentum in one of the UK’s most critical logistics regions.”
CBRE advised on the transaction and has been retained as marketing agents alongside Box 4 Real Estate.
