THE DEVELOPER is looking to expand its scheme by some 150,000 ft2 which comprises DC14, a 64,390 ft2 Build-to-Suit for Birkdale Sales and DC15, a 83,606 ft2 speculative build.
The two buildings will deliver modern, high-quality logistics space combining strong environmental performance and energy efficiency, targeting BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings. Sustainability features include roof-mounted solar PV, EV charging infrastructure and advanced energy management systems. Each facility will offer generous 50-metre yard depths, 15-metre clear internal heights and a mix of dock and level access doors to support a range of operational needs.
The pre-leasing of DC14 to Birkdale Sales is a key part of the company’s relocation and expansion strategy, creating space for growth and product development while supporting a smooth move from its Coventry facility.
Birkdale Sales Founder and Chairman John Abernethie, said: “Scaling our operations in Coventry positions Birkdale for long-term growth. Prologis Park Coventry offers the high quality work environment, connectivity, and future-proofed infrastructure we need to expand our capabilities and continue delivering industry-leading service. It’s the right place for the next chapter of our journey, enabling us to keep innovating, expanding and delivering for our customers.”
DC15 combines 77,604 ft2 of warehousing with 6,002 ft2 of office space and the potential for further expansion with internal mezzanines.
Joint letting agents are Savils and Holt Commercial.
