Outstanding West Midlands urban warehouse scheme completes

By Liza Helps Property Editor Logistics Matters

LESS THAN 1% of properties in the UK score this accreditation. Canmoor director Tom Maltby noted: “With top-quality, high-end, ESG led design credentials, we have already seen good occupier interest in the site. The availability of additional power to the site is also a top draw for modern occupiers’ needs. We also believe this fills a much-needed gap in the Birmingham market for new high quality mid box warehousing/industrial space.”

The scheme, known as Urban8 , totals 370,149 ft2 and is one of the largest speculatively developed midbox multi-unit schemes in the country

The scheme provides eight units, ranging from 26,000 to 70,000 ft2, set in a green, landscaped environment. The development has achieved BREEAM Outstanding rating, with EPC A ratings throughout, reflecting the ESG focussed design to include large scale roof mounted solar PVs, EV Charging, cycle storage, and sustainable travel options available being situated within a four minutes’ walk of Kings North Station, with regular train services to Birmingham New Street.

Each of the eight units are secure and detached with 24-hour access. The warehouse units provide up to 12.5m clear eaves hight and up to 45m secure service yards, with ample office space provision. XL Power supplies (5MVA on site) are available for each unit, which includes on site generation of more than 37% of energy requirements through low carbon measures.

JLL, Savills and DTRE are letting agents.
