THE WHOLESALER has taken Unit 1 totalling 28,840 ft2 to support its expansion into the South London market. The wholesaler supplies convenience stores, grocers, restaurants and other businesses with over 8,000 fast-moving consumer goods products from its current base in West London.

Like many businesses, the company is responding to the demands created by Croydon’s high population density, a growing customer base of local businesses and excellent transport links.

A SEGRO spokesperson said: “This latest leasing activity also reflects continued confidence in the strength and appeal of the Croydon industrial market, with high-quality, expansion-led moves signalling growing occupier demand across the borough.”

The property boasts 23,753 ft2 of warehouse space with 12.5m eaves and two level access doors served by a secure, private yard up to 40m depth as well as 5,087 ft2 of office space on ground and first floors.

The  BREEAM Excellent / EPC A rated space comprises the latest sustainable innovations for accelerated efficiency including a 138 kWp PV system, EV charging with additional features including bicycle shelters, kitchenette and shower / changing facilities.

It comprises seven high-quality, BREEAM Excellent/EPCA units, with the remaining units ranging from 9,155 to 83,827 sq ft.
