Hillwood, a leading global real estate investor and developer, has let Unit Q40 at Quattro, Raunds — 41,046 sq ft — to GXP-Storage Ltd (“GXPS”).  The lease was completed within six weeks of agreeing on Heads of Terms. Q40 will operate under the same regulatory-compliant quality system, facility, and equipment standards, and GXP-Guardian® platform as other GXPS facilities in the US, giving clients a single view of their materials across every storage environment, from controlled ambient to cryogenic.  It places scalable, restricted-access storage capacity within reach of the UK’s principal life sciences clusters.  Fit-out is underway, with the facility commissioned and operational by November 2026. Quattro comprises four speculatively built “mid-box” units from 10,867 to 117,552 sq ft, completed in March 2026.  The letting follows 80,747 sq ft to furniture retailer Nick Scali in June 2026, meaning two of the scheme’s four units are now let.  These buildings are BREEAM “Excellent” certified and EPC “A” rated, and adjoin the A45, with links to the Midlands and, via the A14, the East of England. “Two lettings agreed within four months of practical completion says a great deal about occupier demand for well-specified mid-box space on the A45 corridor, as well as sentiment we’re seeing nationally.  We’re delighted to have worked closely with GXPS to secure a timely transaction that satisfies their operational requirements” said Greg Dalton, Vice President, Hillwood UK. “Location, quality, and Hillwood’s approval for a comprehensive fit-out were all critical to commissioning our third restricted-access facility in the UK — and Hillwood delivered on every count,” said Jeff Johnson, Director, GXP-Storage Ltd.  “Q40 extends our transatlantic network so clients can work with one partner and one consolidated view of their material on both sides of the Atlantic.” Hillwood UK is represented by Bidwells and M1 Agency as retained joint letting agents.

Railpen, manager of the UK’s around £36bn railways pension scheme, has started construction works at South Mimms X, a 122,820 sq ft exceptionally well-connected logistics and industrial development. With completion targeted for Spring 2027, it will be the latest addition to Railpen’s growing industrial portfolio, which comprises state-of-the-art, prime Grade A industrial and logistics facilities located strategically around the M25.  Located at the intersection of the A1(M) and M25, adjacent to South Mimms Services, South Mimms X marks Railpen’s latest milestone in its investment into the logistics and industrial sector, developed in partnership with Wrenbridge. Positioned just 14.5 miles from central London, the 122,820 sq ft scheme will offer a market-leading specification in an unrivalled location, incorporating a 68m secure gated yard. Designed to target a wide range of operators, the facility will also feature 13 dock loading doors, two Euro dock doors, and two level access doors. It will be well-positioned to support the transition to EV fleets, with 18 active EV charging spaces, alongside 98 car parking spaces.  Sustainability is embedded throughout the design, which is targeting net-zero carbon, as well as BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings. The scheme will also deliver 2.5 acres of landscaped amenity space, achieving a 30% biodiversity net gain through features including on-site wildlife boxes and an urban orchard. Once complete, the scheme will benefit from the adjacent high-quality, people-focused amenities to support occupier wellbeing and productivity. Alastair Dawson, UK Industrial Sector Lead at Railpen, commented: “South Mimms X reflects Railpen’s ongoing commitment to producing best-in-class developments that support local economies and enhance surrounding communities. The site is exceptionally well located on the M25, with access to the entirety of Greater London within 90 minutes. With well-connected, high-quality industrial space in increasingly short supply, this scheme has been designed to stand out. Building on our established track record and Wrenbridge’s extensive expertise, South Mimms X is well placed to set a new benchmark for logistics in the South East.” Will Jarman, Associate Director at Wrenbridge, added: “Railpen’s X portfolio is becoming a clear example in the industrial and logistics sector of how a landlord can demonstrate ongoing commitment to delivering best-in-class facilities, and one that goes above and beyond the wants, needs, and expectations of occupiers and their employees. There is a clear demand for accessible industrial space in this location, and it is great to be partnering with Railpen once again to deliver another high-quality scheme.” South Mimms X is just one of the many assets included in Railpen’s property portfolio, which currently has over 3 million sq ft of space under construction or with planning consent, with a forecast construction cost in excess of £500 million by the end of 2030. The development will join Railpen’s expanding ‘X’ branded portfolio of industrial sites, alongside Dartford X, Waltham X and High Wycombe X. Each development is strategically located and designed to meet occupier demand for best-in-class, highly sustainable industrial space.

Panattoni, the world’s largest privately owned developer of industrial real estate, has submitted a hybrid planning application for Panattoni Park Maidstone, a major new 1.04 million sq ft industrial and logistics development in Kent. The application includes detailed proposals for the first phase, comprising two units of 100,000 sq ft and 150,000 sq ft. Outline permission is being sought for the second phase, which will provide customers with opportunities to secure flexible built-to-suit facilities tailored to their operational requirements. The 70-acre site at Lenham is a former manufacturing site being brought back into productive use. It is strategically located close to the A20 and M20, providing strong connections to London, the M25, and key ports serving the UK and continental Europe. The application follows an extensive programme of local consultation. More than 150 people attended a public exhibition in Lenham earlier this year, and feedback showed strong support for the proposals: nearly 85% of respondents backed redeveloping the site for employment use, and 98.5% agreed that redeveloping brownfield land was preferable to building on greenfield. The development will target BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A+ ratings, with buildings designed to support modern logistics, manufacturing, and distribution operations. Alongside the commercial floorspace, the scheme will deliver around 5km of new and improved roads, cycleways and footpaths, together with landscaping and enhanced public access across the site. Panattoni’s nearby scheme at Aylesford as evidence of the economic potential of industrial and logistics developments. Also a redeveloped Kent brownfield site, Panattoni Park Aylesford is now fully occupied and contributes an estimated £180 million a year to the local economy, supporting thousands of jobs. David McGougan, Senior Development Director for the South East at Panattoni, said: “This is a significant planning application that will unlock more than one million square feet of high-quality industrial and logistics space in a market where modern supply remains constrained. “The combination of immediately available units and flexible built-to-suit opportunities will allow us to respond to a broad range of customer requirements. Panattoni Park Maidstone is exceptionally well located for businesses serving London, the South East, and European markets.” Colliers, CBRE, and Vail Williams are the retained agents for Panattoni Park Maidstone.
