IM Properties has let a circa 600,000 sq ft unit at Mercia Park on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border to global transport and logistics company DSV.
DSV will be the first occupier at the £150m Mercia Park expansion, which is capable of accommodating a further plot of up to 450,000 sq ft.
The site, which is located at Junction 11 of the M42, has been identified as a potential location for future development in North West Leicestershire District Council’s emerging plan, with a planning application due be presented to the planning committee shortly.
Richard Sykes, development director at IM Properties, said: “DSV’s continued investment in Mercia Park demonstrates the long-term confidence occupiers have in both the quality of the location and our partnership approach with occupiers and local stakeholders. Their commitment to community and sustainability aligns closely with our sustainable futures strategy and we’re proud to create further growth and job opportunities in North West Leicestershire and support them as they expand their operations here.”
