Development begins on half a million sq ft spec build

The project is situated at East Midlands Distribution Centre (EMDC) and was acquired with planning permission from CWC Group.

The cross-docked facility is on a 25 acre site next to the 1,000,000 sq. ft M&S national distribution centre. 

Due for practical completion in December 2019, the new-build project will have 50m yards on both sides with a clear haunch height of 18m. 

The building will be completed to EPC ‘A’ and offer a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.

Earlier this year AEW announced that Allianz had committed €290m towards a develop-to-core UK logistics venture, managed by AEW.
