THE MASTERPLAN proposes 17 new units, ranging in size from 5,000 – 70,000 ft2, on a 23-acre site near the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus, which previously was occupied by a now demolished 207,000 ft2 warehouse unit.
The new sustainable scheme will target EPC A+ and includes electric vehicle charging points, photovoltaic panels and the creation of green amenity spaces to enhance the estate’s environmental credentials.
Hortons acquired the vacant unit last year, following its earlier acquisition of 21 fully occupied warehouse units on the adjoining estate. Hortons owns an additional eight acres of open storage and development land, contiguous with the holding.
Hortons head of development James Slater, said: “Our investment reflects Hortons’ confidence in the logistics market and our commitment to delivering best-in-class facilities that meet occupier demands. This project is part of a wider strategic development programme of larger multi-let shed schemes across the Midlands area.”
Joint agents are Avison Young, and Nick Hosking at Innes England.
