THE TWO buildings, MPC2 and MPC3 have achieved the highest grade for their sustainability credentials putting them in to the top 1% of BREEAM assessed industrial buildings in the UK.
BREEAM certification is awarded on a scale that reflects the level of environmental performance achieved by buildings. BREEAM Outstanding which requires a minimum score of 85%, is the highest rating achievable.
MPC2 was completed in November 2023 and provides 658,558 ft2 of warehouse space let to modular home manufacturer Top Hat.
MPC3 provides 587,662 ft2 and is currently available to let. It was one of Logistics Matters’ Development of the Year in 2023. https://www.logisticsmatters.co.uk/deals-of-the-year-23
GLP concentrated on several key elements during the build which included 100% rainwater harvesting systems, low zero carbon technology, integrating air source heat pumps throughout and the use of solar thermal systems on the roof of the buildings. The building also received additional credits through wider estate amenities such as outdoor seating and new bus stops being negotiated with the local transport authorities.
