Speaking about the project, Glencar Managing Director for Midlands and North, Pete Goodman, said: “We are working with Aviva Investors currently on construction of the new 60,000 sq ft Sidney Sussex Advanced Laboratory & Life Sciences facility in Chesterford Research Park so we are naturally delighted to receive this further instruction in this key strategic logistics location in Birmingham.
Logistics & Industrial is at the heart of what we do and we look forward to working with Aviva Investors and the full project team to deliver this outstanding scheme which features leading edge ESG credentials which are becoming standard in this sector”.
James Stevens, Head of Real Estate Investment at Aviva Investors said: “We are pleased to partner with Glencar at Catalyst Industrial Park, which we think is an exciting new development project in a strategically important logistics location. Building on our existing relationship at Chesterford Research Park, one of the UK’s leading life science hubs, we look forward to delivering four exceptional facilities that we expect will be highly attractive to firms looking to benefit from Birmingham’s excellent logistics credentials, whilst also having the potential to contribute to long-term performance in our portfolio.”
Catalyst Park is located in a popular industrial area of Birmingham on the historic former LDV manufacturing site. Direct access to the scheme is off Drews Lane, minutes away from the key arterial route of the A47 (Heartlands Spine Road), providing easy access to both J5 and J6 of the M6 which are both less than 3 miles from the site.
Catalyst Park also benefits from being located outside the Birmingham City Centre congestion charge but in easy reach of the Birmingham Inner ring road and city centre 4 miles southwest.
