FIRETHORN IS acting as asset and leasing manager on behalf of Cain for the site and closed the deal, which Logistics Matters reported in late November last year, recently.

The online retailer has taken a 15 year lease on SH131 at the 659,310 ft2 Sherburn 42 scheme in Sherburn in Elmet, in North Yorkshire.

The building totals 131,830 ft2 and has 125,843 ft2 of warehouse space with 15m eaves as well as 12 dock and three level access doors served by a 50m yard with 20 HGV parking spaces. It has 5,987 ft2 of first floor Grade A office space. The facility has been built carbon net zero and has a BREEAM Excellent and EPC A rating.

The new distribution centre is scheduled to be operational in Autumn 2026 and will support the Gear4Music’s strategic expansion and free up space in the current York site to enhance Showrooms, Second-hand sales, and Returns operations, and to consolidate operations.

Joint agents are Colliers, Lambert Smith Hampton and Carter Towler.
