Three spec builds announced by Prologis

THE PROJECTS at Prologis Park Midpoint, located in Birmingham, Prologis Park West London and Prologis Park Brooklands in Weybridge, bring the total amount of land under development by Prologis UK for the logistics industry to 2.4 million sq ft.

Ground has been broken at Prologis Park Midpoint, with the new unit, DC6, under construction as part of a speculative development project. On completion, the new 163,754 sq ft distribution centre will bring the total floorspace of logistics properties at the park to over 1.6 million sq ft.

As demand within the eCommerce sector continue to grow, there has been an increased focus on the need for more high-density urban hubs to provide greater last-mile capabilities. In response to the growing needs of the industry, Prologis has broken ground on two key development areas within Greater London.

Strategically positioned to ensure access the major consumer markets within West and Central London, and Thames Valley, Prologis Park West London is located on the doorstep of Heathrow Airport and within four miles of the M25. The two new units, DC5 (195,719 sq ft) and DC6 (143,849 sq ft), are due to finish construction in Spring 2023.

Likewise, Prologis Park Brooklands DC1 is situated in a proven last-mile delivery location, serving Central and South London, with easy access to the M25, M3 and A3. The new 124,401 sq ft logistics facility draws upon a large and skilled labour pool from Weybridge and surrounding areas.

Both Prologis Park West London and Prologis Park Brooklands are designed and built to meet the demands of high-performance operations.

As well as being Grade A logistics and manufacturing facilities, all three developments will be certified net zero carbon in construction, with the new facilities targeted to achieve BREEAM-rated ‘Excellent’. In addition, the units will be kitted out with EV infrastructure for the benefit of customers with green fleets.
