SEGRO has secured planning consent for a sustainable 95,000 sq ft urban logistics scheme in Wapping.

SEGRO Park Wapping will comprise seven units ranging in size from 10,000 sq ft to 18,000 sq ft, spread over two terraces.

The developer is targeting EPC A+ and BREEAM Excellent for the development, which will feature photovoltaic panels on the roof to generate renewable energy for occupiers.

Bonnie Minshull, head of London at SEGRO, said: “The flight to quality trend continues to accelerate, with occupiers becoming increasingly particular with their demands for flexible, efficient and green workspace in central urban locations, in the heart of the economies and communities they serve.

“SEGRO Park Wapping is our next generation of inner urban warehousing, raising the bar on sustainability and innovation, and being designed to complement a modern city environment in a high-demand Central London location.”

Work is expected to commence shortly on the scheme, which will be developed speculatively.
