Padrock has let a 7,650 sq ft unit at its Dagenham Logistics Hub development to retrofit and refurbishment contractor McConnell.
The new facility will support McConnell’s operations in East London, providing storage space to help the firm deliver its refurbishment, maintenance, retrofit, energy efficiency, cladding and fire remediation services.
Dagenham Logistics Hub, which provides 173,380 sq ft of industrial and warehouse space across 14 units ranging from 6,550 sq ft to 34,825 sq ft, has a GDV of £95m.
All units have achieved BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ ratings and feature photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps, EV charging points and low air permeability design.
Kevin Jones, from McConnell, said: “Dagenham Logistics Hub gives us a high-specification facility in a well-connected location adjacent to where we are delivering a significant amount of work. Energy efficiency in the built environment and improving the performance and safety of existing buildings are central to our business. It is therefore important that we operate from a space that reflects those values. The unit allows us the flexibility to fully support our client and team efficiently, whilst playing an important role in how we deliver projects across the area.”
Jamie Young, investment and development manager at Padrock, added: “McConnell had an immediate requirement and we were able to move quickly to complete the lease, which reflects the readiness of the scheme and our ability to respond to occupier needs at pace. With its strong sustainability credentials, strategic location and high quality specification, Dagenham Logistics Hub is a location that supports occupiers’ operational requirements and growth plans. Our development is a long-term economic asset for Dagenham and we continue to see strong interest from businesses seeking new build sustainable space here.”
The agents for Dagenham Logistics Hub are M1 Agency, Ryan and Glenny.
