Ask Real Estate has secured planning consent for a £30m GDV logistics scheme at Manchester Business Park.

Designed by AEW Architects, the 116,000 sq ft Horizon development will comprise nine last-mile units ranging from 6,653 sq ft to 22,344 sq ft. Ask acquired the 7.8-acre site last year and intends to commence construction later this summer.

The company is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings for the units, which are designed to be net zero in operation.

Jamie Hills, development director at Ask said: “We are really pleased to secure planning for Horizon and are looking forward to appointing a contractor ahead of making an immediate start on site. Horizon will feature last mile commercial space for businesses at a key airport location, creating jobs for local people and further contributing to the local economy and the prosperity of Wythenshawe.”

Deloitte advised Ask on planning and Newmark has been appointed as letting agent for Horizon. The professional team also includes Motion Project Management and KAM.
