VolkerFitzpatrick has successfully completed Arrow Point Bolton, a state-of-the-art industrial and logistics development delivering almost 328,000 sq ft of high-quality warehouse accommodation in one of the North West’s most strategically connected commercial locations. Developed on behalf of Arrow Capital Partners through its Strategic Industrial Real Estate (SIRE) joint venture with Cerberus Capital Management, the scheme comprises two Grade A logistics units of 220,250 sq ft and 107,500 sq ft, designed to meet the evolving operational requirements of modern occupiers. Located close to Junction 6 of the M61, Arrow Point Bolton offers excellent connectivity to the wider UK motorway network, Manchester Airport and the Port of Liverpool, making it an attractive proposition for manufacturers, distributors and logistics operators seeking efficient regional and national supply chain access. The larger of the two units is currently being marketed by B8 Real Estate and Commercial Property Partners, while the 107,500 sq ft building was pre-let earlier this year to Heritage Trade Frames, underlining the continued strength of demand for high-quality industrial accommodation across the region. The development has been designed to provide maximum operational flexibility, incorporating 15-metre clear internal eaves heights, 82 HGV trailer parking spaces, 32 dock levellers and five level-access loading doors. These specifications enable occupiers to optimise warehouse operations while accommodating future growth and changing logistics requirements. Sustainability has played a central role throughout the project’s design and construction. Initially targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification and an EPC A rating, Arrow Point Bolton has exceeded expectations by achieving BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC A+ standards, placing it amongst the UK’s highest-performing industrial developments for environmental performance. A range of innovative construction techniques also contributed to the scheme’s impressive sustainability credentials. Roller dynamic compaction was adopted as an alternative ground stabilisation method, reducing embodied carbon by approximately 10% compared with traditional engineering solutions. In addition, crushed concrete recovered from the site was reused within the development as sub-base material, minimising waste, reducing imported aggregates and supporting circular construction principles. The development also delivers an exceptional biodiversity net gain of 416%, alongside measures focused on energy efficiency, sustainable transport and occupier wellbeing. Construction-related carbon emissions have also been independently verified through Planet Mark’s net zero framework. For the construction and logistics property sectors, Arrow Point Bolton demonstrates how modern industrial developments can successfully combine high-performance operational facilities with ambitious sustainability objectives.

The wider Eurocentral estate extends to 650 acres and is served by Scotland’s first Channel Tunnel Rail Freight Terminal, with four major seaports within easy reach. With vacancy along the M8 corridor remaining at around 2.5%, the planning decision is expected to prompt early interest from occupiers. CBRE and Colliers, appointed as joint leasing agents, are actively encouraging businesses to explore pre-let opportunities ahead of the construction start. Craig Semple, Director at CBRE Scotland, said: “Planning consent for Eurocentral Gateway is a significant step forward for the Central Belt industrial market. Demand for prime, well-specified space remains strong, and supply is still tight, so the prospect of two new buildings of this quality at one of Scotland’s best-connected locations will no doubt be of interest to occupiers.” Iain Davidson, Director in Colliers Industrial & Logistics team, said: “Securing planning permission means Eurocentral Gateway is now moving from aspiration to reality. The specification is among the strongest we’ve seen on the M8 corridor, and its position gives occupiers a connectivity advantage that is genuinely difficult to match elsewhere in Scotland. We anticipate strong occupier interest in these buildings and would urge interested businesses to engage with us early to avoid missing out.” Further information on the development can be found at:https://eurocentral.designworks-web.co.uk/ Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
