THE BESPOKE warehouse on a 23.27-acre site is strategically located close to Cardiff city centre and ABP said the deal marked the start of the first phase of its Cardiff Business Park development, designed to attract leading logistics operators to the port environment.
Logistics Matters broke the story in April last year when ABP secured full planning. The property on Compass Road has been operation since October 2025.
ABP Head of Property Helen Thomas, said: “With extensive land and the ability to deliver bespoke developments like this, we’re ready to support more businesses looking for strategic, well-connected locations.”
Amazon has been busy in the background lately securing a number of new build-to-suit delivery stations (some acknowledged others not) and as well as the facility in Cardiff, these include a 116,250 ft2 delivery station in Stockton-on-Tees (acknowledged) as well as proposed design and build delivery stations currently going through planning or having just secured planning that include a 100,000 ft2 facility at Chiverton Cross interchange on the A30 dual carriageway in Cornwall, and a 134,548 ft2 facility in Ely in Cambridgeshire as well as a 164,505 ft2 delivery station at Canadian real estate company Brookfield’s former Pets At Home logistics depot off Stanley Matthews Way in Stoke on Trent.
The e-tailer and 3PL giant is widely rumoured to be the occupier in question for the 209,319 ft2 bespoke facility on Canadian real estate development and investment firm Epta Development Corporation (EDC) and Stoford’s 101 acre Axis Works in Bristol and is also the occupier behind the 2.399 million ft2 capacity multi-level state of the art warehouse set to be built at Caddick Developments’ 4.5 million ft2 EM.EX Worksop scheme in the East Midlands.
