HBD has secured planning consent to build 75,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space at Airport Business Park Southend (ABPS).
The property investment and development arm of Henry Boot will deliver the space across two units at the 52-acre scheme on a design and build basis.
HBD recently completed a £15m GDV 140,000 sq ft design and build unit for Ipec Holdings at the scheme, which is being delivered in partnership with Southend-on-Sea City Council.
Tim Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot, said: “HBD’s practical completion and further expansion at ABPS is testament to the quality and appeal of the premium, purpose-built sites we design and deliver, which are highly sought after by occupiers. We look forward to maintaining our partnership with Southend-on-Sea City Council as Airport Business Park Southend continues to establish itself as a leading industrial and logistics hub in the region, welcoming businesses of all sizes to expand and innovate.
“Additionally, achieving further planning permission allows us to continue to meet high occupier demand and ease the critical undersupply of industrial space that exists in the Southend area.”
