Durham development reaches practical completion

By Liza Helps Property Editor Logistics Matters

THE FIVE unit £400 million mixed-use scheme at Junctin 61 of the A1M is now ready for occupation.

Set on the 205 acre Integra 61 site, the completed Connect units comprise the largest speculatively developed industrial scheme in the North East for more than a decade.

The Connect scheme includes a 298,000 ft2 stand-alone high bay 15m warehouse unit, Connect 298, as well as a further four units of high quality industrial/warehouse accommodation, ranging from 43,000 to 152,000 ft2.

Sunrise Real Estate agreed a forward funding deal with Citrus in 2022 for the delivery of the units and GMI Construction was appointed as contractor. Appointed agents Avison Young, CBRE and Colliers are marketing the new units.

The wider Integra 61 mixed-use development has consent to deliver more than 3 million ft2 of employment space in units from 1,200 ft2 upwards in addition to some 260 new homes, a new hotel, nursery, drive-thru restaurants, vehicle dealerships and trade counter/retail units.
