THE UNIT will sit on a 34-acre plot and will offer 18m clear height, over 100 dock loading doors and 3.5MVA secured power. It will include over 28,000 ft2 of flexible office space and 10,000 ft2 amenity space, and is targeting the highest possible sustainability accreditation, BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, supported by features such as rooftop photovoltaic panels, air-source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting. It is scheduled for completion in early summer 2027.

The development commences at a time of strong occupier demand in both the region and size bracket, with data from DTRE showing take-up of big-box space totalled 16.8 million ft2 in H1 2026, 19% above the post-Covid average.

SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton is located adjacent to Junction 15 of the M1 motorway, and is already home to Yusen Logistics (due to be operational later this year) and an Amazon fulfilment centre. All customers are able to utilise a modern rail freight interchange operated by Maritime Transport, which connects to the West Coast Mainline and enables the efficient and sustainable movement of goods across the country.

SEGRO Head of National Markets Dan Holford, said: “The construction of this high-specification warehouse reflects the strength of demand for modern logistics space along the southern M1 corridor.”
