One hour firewall key in new Mid-Box scheme

THE PROJECT involved the construction of one unit subdivided by a 1-hour firewall to create two lettable spaces of 42,000 and 58,000 sq ft at Erdington Industrial Park in Birmingham.

The leading UK construction company completed the build for investment management and advisory firm Vengrove.

The spec-build units were constructed to best in class ESG credentials achieving the score of BREEAM Excellent and EPC A rating. The specification includes 10M eaves height, 44M yard depth, roof mounted PV panels together with dock level and level access doors.

Glencar managing director Midlands, Pete Goodman says: “This development goes some way towards tackling the shortage of new, high specification mid-box warehousing in Birmingham with occupier demand outstripping supply.

“Logistics and Industrial is truly at the core of what we do and the best in class ESG specification that features in this development is now firmly established as an industry benchmark. In this aspect, Glencar is making significant strides and leading the way in terms of delivering sustainable development that features both reduced carbon in construction and eventual operation.”

Vengrove asset manager Jennie Brown, adds: “We're thrilled to be launching this best-in-class speculative scheme to the market. The levels of occupier interest we have seen in the units to date, both combined and individually, is a testament to the quality of product that has been delivered by Glencar and the professional team.”
