Network Space Developments (NSD) has completed and sold Phase Two of the Tunstall Arrow Business Park, in Stoke-on-Trent. The second phase of this highly popular scheme provides an additional 111,400 sq. ft of industrial and logistics workspace on a 7-acre plot. Phase Two comprises five high-specification, highly sustainable, energy efficient business premises for industrial or logistics uses, ranging from 13,500 sq. ft to 31,200 sq. ft. This second phase has been sold to 4th Industrial, the multi-let and light industrial investor, which also acquired the 127,100 sq. ft first phase in 2021. Together, both phases comprise 238,500 sq. ft across 10 units. The development is supported by Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ) initiative, and is making a significant positive impact on the locality – regenerating a former brownfield site, attracting inward investment and providing space for around 400 jobs. Both phases have been built speculatively by NSD with rapid take up by occupiers demonstrating the quality of the scheme and strength of the local market. The scheme has attracted a host of international tenants including: DHL Express, Boels Rental, Q-railing, Pramac Generac and SG Fleet. Phase 1 was fully let within 3 months of completion and Phase 2 has already secured its first letting to Speedy Services, the UK’s leading tools and equipment hire services company which operates across the construction, infrastructure and industrial sectors, with other units now under offer. Speedy Services has leased Unit 5, a 21,000 sq. ft prominent self-contained, warehouse with office and staff amenities. This is all within its own secure gated compound that offers 30-space parking and four electric vehicle charging points. Acquired by NSD in 2013, the overall Tunstall Arrow scheme covers 28 acres of a former colliery site adjoining the A50 and the A527 (James Brindley Way) in Sandyford. The scheme is close to the A500 with access to Junction 16 of the M6 only minutes away. Stephen Barnes (Managing Director) at NSD, said: “We are very proud of the Tunstall Arrow development, now a well-established industrial and logistics location in the heart of the Ceramic Valley. We’ve successfully attracted new occupiers to the area, creating jobs and supply side opportunities with more to come as the final units are occupied. Stoke-on-Trent City Council had the foresight to support this scheme from the outset and is now enjoying the benefits of that ambition.” “It has been a pleasure to complete another transaction with 4th Industrial, who we have a strong investor/developer relationship with, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.” Sarah Lindsay, Head of Asset Management, 4th Industrial, said; “Having purchased Phase 1 in 2021 we were pleased to secure Phase 2, which increases our investment in this prime location. Tunstall Arrow is a quality industrial property, with strong ESG credentials, built to a high specification and excellent quality by Network Space and their contractor Caddick Construction. The pre let to Speedy Services shows the continued strength of demand for prime light industrial space across the UK, and with the interest already shown in the remaining units we hope to announce further lettings shortly.” Of the letting, David Nunn, Head of Estate Management for Speedy Services, added: “Unit 5 has everything we have been looking for in a significant North West site that will help us serve clients across the Stoke-on-Trent region. Becoming a carbon net zero business is core to our strategy, and the site’s excellent location and high-quality build that came with an EPC A rating will also help Speedy to recruit and retain the best staff for our new centre.” Letting agents for Tunstall Arrow North are Richard Mounsey at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors and Antony Mellor at B8RE. Selling agent was Simon Wood, also of B8RE. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

We remain focussed on accelerating growth and delivering a return on this investment. “We are very pleased with our new facility at Belgrave which provides high-quality space in an excellent accessible location. It provides the ideal base for our expanding Group and will help achieve our business objectives.” Howard Crawshaw, Managing Director of Knight Property Group added: “We firmly believed Belgrave Logistics Park would be a success and would attract strong interest and quality tenants from the outset and this deal reinforces our strategy of developing high quality speculative product in prime locations. “Occupier interest has been excellent for the remaining units, with several discussions ongoing and we have now commenced the final phase, a 126,960 sq ft unit, which will be completed in September this year.” Belgrave is one of the greenest industrial/logistics parks in Scotland at the current time. Each building is ‘all-electric’ and has an EPC rating of ‘A +’ and has a BREEAM ‘excellent rating’, in line with occupier and investor expectations. It is in the heart of Scotland’s ‘golden triangle,’ within the popular Bellshill Industrial Estate.

Alan Gilkison, Managing Partner of Ryden said: “This is a bold and ambitious project from Knight, who have gained the reputation for investing and delivering quality speculative developments in key geographical areas. This project has already secured quality occupiers and is generating significant interest for the remaining space. It will provide Knight with the results they deserve.” Ryden and JLL are agents for Knight Property Group. The project architect was SPACE Solutions’, with the developers being Muir Construction (for Phases 1 & 2) and Clark Contracts (for Phase 3).

MWJV, a Cornish construction services consultancy, has been supporting the build of Spaceport Cornwall, which launched its first mission on Monday 9 January. The company has been managing the construction of the spaceport facilities at Cornwall Airport Newquay, which first began in January 2022. Spaceport Cornwall is the first place in the UK to offer space launch capabilities. Roger Hannaford, Financial Director at MWJV, said: “We’ve been working closely with Spaceport Cornwall and the contractors to ensure the project is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest possible standard. Our work has included project management, quantity surveying, health & safety management and the appointment of a NEC Supervisor. “Working on Spaceport has been a fantastic opportunity and we’re now looking forward to finalising the project and celebrating its many future successful launches. It’s great to see such an innovative and nationally significant project come to life here in Cornwall.” The spaceport project includes the construction of two new buildings and supporting infrastructure. The Space Systems Integration Facility (SSIF) was completed in September and is now occupied by one of Spaceport Cornwall’s customers, Virgin Orbit. The SSIF is where the rockets are assembled and includes a large cleanroom, crane, and airlock for satellite integration activities, as well as welfare facilities, meeting rooms, and a large final assembly area. The second building, the Space Systems Operations Facility (SSOF), will be multi-purpose and is where on-site mission control will be based. The SSOF is currently being fitted out and is set to be completed by the end of March. Construction has been carried out by two main contractors, each with a supply chain of subcontractors. The principal contractors are Kier, which has led the general construction, and specialist firm Bassaire, which has headed up the cleanroom elements. MWJV Senior Project Manager Phil Knight said: “The project has been an interesting challenge for us to manage the delivery of the construction phase in readiness for Spaceport Cornwall’s first customer. The project has involved a complex supply chain comprising a multitude of specialist contractors required for the Space Systems Integration Facility fit out and supporting infrastructure.” The project also involves the installation of specialist equipment, including a shipping container-sized frequency converter, groundworks for access and car parking, and a rooftop solar array to help meet the building’s sustainability requirements for its BREEAM certification. Commenting, Ross Hulbert, Business Development Manager at Spaceport Cornwall said: “MWJV provided an excellent service in managing the delivery of these complex buildings. These facilities are key to attracting a sustainable space industry cluster on-site, bringing jobs and building local skills. We are also excited that we are providing great opportunities for local businesses, like MWJV, to expand their capabilities into the space industry.” The spaceport is the first of its kind in the UK, allowing for horizontal launches of satellites with a modified Boeing 747 and detachable wing-mounted rocket. Previously, satellite manufacturers had to take their products to other countries for launch.

Construction and consultancy company, Mace, has been appointed by Manchester Airports Group (MAG) to manage the second phase of the Manchester Airport Transformation Programme (MANTP). The programme will expand Manchester Airport’s role as the UK’s global gateway in the North, transforming the passenger experience and helping attract new routes to key international destinations. The first phase of the £1.3bn programme has already seen Terminal 2 more than double in size. Representing a £440m investment, the phase two works will see the remainder of Terminal 2 modernised, and a second pier built. The programme is expected to complete in 2024, with the new facilities opening in 2025. Mace brings extensive experience managing the delivery of major aviation projects and programmes, most recently at Keflavik Airport in Iceland and Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. The business has global expertise working with a range of airport operators and carriers. The company has been appointed as the project management and construction delivery specialists for the redevelopment of Terminal 2 and the construction of the second phase of the new Pier 2 to create additional contact served aircraft stands. The transformation programme will contribute significant social and economic benefits to the surrounding community. Mace and its supply chain partners will create over 500 new jobs, while independent analysis commissioned by Manchester Airport shows around 16,400 extra jobs will be generated by 2040 as a result of the economic activity stimulated by the expansion of the airport and its route network. The same research – by York Aviation – reveals the economic contribution Manchester Airport makes to the Northern economy will soar by £2.75bn as a result of the full delivery of its transformation programme. And a further £2.9bn boost will be triggered through the increased productivity of businesses travelling and trading globally through Manchester over the same period. Mace and its supply chain partners will also engage over 1,500 young people across Greater Manchester, aim to raise £70,000 for local charities and donate at least 500 hours of employee volunteering time. It has been established that at least 5% of the workforce should be apprentices for the duration of the project. During the build phase, over £75m will be contributed to the local area through wider business operations, regional supply chains and tourism recovery beyond the pandemic. Over £1.3m in social value has already been created to date. Building, Design and Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton (SLPN) will be the company’s first UK big-box logistics park to achieve net-zero carbon in the construction of all the units and delivery of the supporting infrastructure as a result of a pioneering partnership with primary contractor Winvic Construction Ltd. SLPN will deliver up to 5 million sq ft of modern distribution space and a new 35-acre rail freight terminal, and is adjacent to Junction 15 of the M1, close to Northampton. The development, which is expected to support over 7,000 jobs, also includes significant infrastructure improvement works, including a bypass of Roade village, improvements to the A45 and M1 Junction 15 and extensive landscaping including new cycle routes and footpaths. SEGRO and Winvic will deliver the entire project, including all infrastructure and enabling works, at net-zero carbon. This will be achieved through a number of innovations in the construction and procurement processes to reduce the amount of embodied carbon in the base build by approximately 40%, with any outstanding carbon being offset. Initiatives include: Use of recycled and low-carbon materials Shift to green and renewable power Reduction of on-site waste In line with the company’s Responsible SEGRO commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2030, the scheme has been designed to reduce the amount of embodied carbon as far as practically possible. The carbon that can’t be removed will be offset through a variety of initiatives that will be focused around social value, ecology and renewable energy. These include peat bog restoration in the North East of the UK, a carbon farming project in Somerset and several tree planting schemes. An initial 165,000 Verified Carbon Standard carbon credits have been purchased. SEGRO’s current priority is to reduce carbon emissions, however the company is simultaneously developing its carbon offsetting strategy. The learnings from SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton will inform this strategy. Andrew Pilsworth, Managing Director, National Logistics at SEGRO said: “Rapid advances in construction techniques and building design are enabling developers to deliver warehouse units more sustainably, but SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton will be the first time net-zero is achieved across an entire vast industrial site, including the delivery of all on-site and off-site supporting infrastructure. “This is the result of a truly innovative approach from SEGRO and our partner Winvic to source recycled materials and embed the principles of the circular economy at all stages of the design and development process. Developments such as SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton are vital cogs in domestic and global supply chains, and it is critical we can deliver them to meet our customers’ requirements for net-zero carbon warehousing and help the UK transition to a greener economy.” Arun Thaneja, Winvic’s Technical Services and Sustainability Director, added: “Our combined vision for sustainable procurement and operations, has resulted in SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton being a perfect example of how we work in partnership to deliver innovative net zero developments. We hope the scheme becomes a source of inspiration for net-zero in the construction industry.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
