SEGRO intends to deliver nine new speculatively-built industrial units on land formerly occupied by a single building at Slough Trading Estate.
The developer is delivering 107,000 sq ft at 136 Edinburgh Avenue in units ranging from 2,000 sq ft to 45,000 sq ft.
SEGRO is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ for the units, which will feature air source heat pumps, EV charging points, smart building sensors and controls and more than 2,000 sq m of PV panels generating energy savings of more than 350,000 kWh/Yr and carbon savings of more than 42,000 Kg/Co2/Yr.
Jo Jackson, director, Thames Valley at SEGRO, said: “This is another great example of how we are continuing to evolve the Slough Trading Estate to meet the demands of our modern-day customers. On this occasion we’re taking a site previously occupied by a single building that was at the end of its economical life and transforming it into nine high quality, sustainable industrial units that are suitable for a diverse range of different sized companies operating different types of business.
“In the current market there are relatively few speculatively built schemes underway in the UK, which underlines our confidence in demand from existing and potentially new customers to take space on the Slough Trading Estate and their desire to be part of this vibrant business community.”
The development is anticipated to reach practical completion by January 2025.
