SEGRO has completed construction of the first three warehouses at the 215-acre SEGRO Park Coventry.
In addition to a new 300,000 sq ft distribution hub for DHL eCommerce UK, the company has delivered two units of 140,000 sq ft and 220,000 sq ft on a speculative basis. DP World Logistics singed a pre-let on a 598,050 sq ft unit at the park last year.
All of the units have been built to modern sustainability standards, achieving BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ ratings.
Dan Holford, head of national markets at SEGRO, said: “After acquiring this brownfield site in 2020 we had to carry out a huge amount of work to regenerate the land ahead of construction and occupation. Knowing the effort and commitment that went into this from hundreds of people across our project team and supply chain makes it extra special to see this significant milestone of the first buildings completed being achieved.
“The two pre-lets, which are due to be operational later this year, demonstrate there is already strong demand for this high-quality logistics space in this location. We are working hard to convert the initial interest on the speculative units into signed leases and to progress the remaining plots on the development, and we remain confident in the role this development can play in supporting employment and economic growth in the region.”
