Network Space has completed the sale of the final development plot at Tunstall Arrow Business Park, Stoke-on-Trent, to Metalcraft Projects UK, part of the Metalcraft Group, marking the successful conclusion of one of the city’s most significant brownfield regeneration projects. The plot, fronting James Brindley Way, was sold for an undisclosed sum following full planning consent from Stoke-on-Trent City Council for a drive-thru coffee shop and an 18-bay ultra-fast EV charging hub. The new facilities will enhance on-site amenities for businesses and motorists while supporting regional sustainability goals. This final transaction brings the 28-acre development to completion, transforming a former colliery into a thriving mixed-use business park within the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ). Supported by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership, the scheme has delivered around 400 jobs, attracted major inward investment and repurposed a long-derelict site. Acquired by Network Space in 2013, Tunstall Arrow occupies a strategic location adjoining the A50 and A527 (James Brindley Way), with easy access to the A500 and M6 Junction 16. Delivered over three phases, the development has attracted national occupiers including DHL Express, Boels Rental, Q-Railing, Pramac-Generac, SG Fleet, and Speedy Services. Earlier disposals included a roadside plot to The Kay Group, now home to a modern petrol filling station and convenience offer. The sale to Metalcraft Projects UK concludes all land transactions within the wider scheme. Joe Burnett, Development Director at Network Space, said: “Completing the final land sale at Tunstall Arrow is a proud moment for everyone involved in the project. What began as a heavily constrained former colliery has been transformed into one of Stoke-on-Trent’s leading business locations – a genuine regeneration success story. “Over the last decade and with the support of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, we’ve delivered modern, energy-efficient buildings that have attracted national operators, supported hundreds of local jobs and driven fresh investment into the region’s economy.” He added: “This is a commercial development that not only reuses brownfield land but creates lasting social and economic value for the region. We’re delighted to see it reach its full potential with this final sale.” Nathan Varley, CEO of Metalcraft Group said: “We’re proud to have acquired this site at Tunstall Arrow, which provides an excellent, well-connected base to support our continued growth and investment in the region. The quality of the location and its regeneration story really stood out, and we look forward to joining a strong community of businesses already established at the Park.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Prologis UK has leased the 261,147 sq. ft. DC2 facility at Prologis Park Hams Hall to Fiege, one of Europe’s leading logistics providers. The deal marked Fiege’s entry into the UK market, where it is servicing a major existing e-commerce client. Located just one mile from Junction 9 of the M42 and 10 miles from Birmingham city centre, Hams Hall offered Fiege excellent connectivity. The park sits at the heart of the UK motorway network and includes an on-site intermodal rail freight terminal linking directly to major seaports and the Channel Tunnel. This strategic position enabled Fiege to strengthen its client’s European fulfilment network and respond directly to rising UK demand for e-commerce fulfilment services. From Hams Hall, the company can manage cross-border flows more effectively, shorten delivery times, and reduce transport miles by serving customers from a centrally located hub. The site also provides the scalability Fiege needs to grow, ensuring future capacity in one of the UK’s most competitive logistics markets. Kristian Loepert, Senior Manager Key Accounts & Real Estate at Fiege, said: “Opening our first UK site was a milestone for Fiege. The quality and readiness of Hams Hall made it the right choice for our expansion, allowing us to support our client with a modern and highly efficient operation. We were excited to build on our trusted relationship with Prologis, who already support us across Europe.” DC2 was delivered to Prologis’ high sustainability standards. The facility achieved net zero carbon in construction, holds a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification, and has an EPC A rating. Its enhanced fit-out included smart LED lighting, full sprinkler and frost-protection systems, and EV-ready car parking bays, saving incoming occupiers up to £2.95 million and 24 weeks of installation lead time. Fiege also benefited from a comprehensive turnkey solution through Prologis Essentials, which included wide-aisle racking, a full office fit-out, modern staff welfare amenities, and IT and power infrastructure. Delivered alongside the enhanced base build, these measures allowed the company to accelerate its start-up schedule and ensure operations could begin without delay. Jason Pickering, Director, Capital Deployment at Prologis UK, said: “By providing a move-in ready facility through our Essentials platform, we enabled Fiege to focus on their customer from day one rather than on set-up. It’s a practical example of how we reduce lead times and de-risk market entry for our customers.” With this agreement, Prologis Park Hams Hall became fully occupied. The park is already home to leading brands including Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, DHL and Kuehne+Nagel, reinforcing its role as a hub for manufacturing and logistics in the West Midlands.

This makes it ideally placed to serve regional and national distribution networks, as well as local businesses seeking high-quality commercial space. In addition to its commercial offering, the project will include a 17-acre nature reserve on neighbouring land, transforming existing farmland into a new wildlife habitat and community green space. This ecological enhancement forms a key part of IM Properties’ commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. The launch of Stratford 46 marks a major step in bringing new employment, investment, and biodiversity improvements to the area, setting the stage for one of Warwickshire’s most significant business park developments in recent years.

Indurent, a leading developer, owner, and operator of industrial and logistics space across the UK, has relocated and upsized its existing tenant, Regency Glass, supporting the company’s continued growth. The company has agreed to lease a 420,000 sq ft facility at Indurent 420, Omega West – the biggest in Indurent’s portfolio – marking the largest single site lease completed in the North West of England this year. Regency Glass had previously agreed to lease c.125,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space across two newly developed units at Indurent Park Trident in Warrington. However, following significant strategic investment from business acquisition compounder CorpAcq and demand for the company’s latest product, Regency Triple featuring Corning© Enlighten™  Glass, an ultra-thin glass triple-glazed unit, growing significantly, Indurent was able to provide an alternative solution that met the company’s need for a much larger, single-site operation. Indurent 420, Omega West was completed in Q2 of this year and quickly secured Regency Glass as its occupier, underscoring the continued strong demand for high-quality space in prime locations. The unit is part of the established Omega West development, one of the North West’s most strategic distribution hubs, offering best-in-class facilities, direct motorway access, and proximity to major occupiers including Amazon, Royal Mail, and Home Bargains.

Built to the highest ESG standards, Indurent 420 has achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and is targeting EPC A. It includes rooftop solar PV, LED lighting, and a 2MVA power supply, supporting net-zero carbon performance. Hannah Bryan-Williams, Senior Customer & Leasing Manager at Indurent says, “This relocation and significant upsize is a great example of how Indurent works in partnership with its customers to support their growth. By understanding Regency Glass’ evolving needs, we were able to provide a flexible solution that offers the scale, sustainability, and quality required for their next phase of expansion at Omega West.” Darren Beazant, CEO, Regency Glass says, “We are incredibly excited for this next chapter in Regency’s story. Although we’re leaving our longstanding home in Leigh, we carry our roots with us. This move represents an opportunity the business truly deserves. It’s a chance for our entire team to be part of something extraordinary, scaling up in a way that will change the UK glazing market.” This deal exemplifies Indurent’s ability to support businesses at every stage of their growth, delivering flexible, high-quality, and sustainable logistics solutions that adapt to occupier needs. It also reinforces Indurent’s commitment to the North West, where the company continues to expand its portfolio with best-in-class developments that attract leading occupiers and drive regional growth. The new product, developed in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, a world-leading innovator in glass, ceramics and materials science, features an ultra-thin profile, a lightweight design, and enhanced thermal performance, all without the bulk typically associated with traditional triple glazing. This innovation supports growing demand in the replacement window market and sets a new standard for quality and sustainability, Indurent’s retained agents are DTRE, B8 and CCP. The successful completion of this relocation was also supported by BCLP, Till AM, Knight Frank LLP and Gateley Legal. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Winvic Construction Ltd, a leading main contractor that specialises in the design and delivery of private and public sector construction and civil engineering projects, has been appointed by Logistics Capital Partners (LCP)to deliver a new depot for Carlsberg Britvic at West Midlands Interchange (WMI). The depot will be the first constructed at the development and was celebrated with an official groundbreaking ceremony. The drinks company previously announced that it will be the first occupier at WMI – a transformative £2 billion national logistics hub at Junction 12 of the M6 near Wolverhampton, which is being developed by global real estate investor, developer and manager Oxford Properties and LCP.   Building on Winvic’s success as the design stage delivery partner on WMI, since 2023 the team has delivered new road infrastructure and works to the existing road and public rights of way network, along with the reconfiguration and undergrounding of energy infrastructure, and the earthworks required to create development plots and landscape zones.  As part of those works, Winvic and Active Tunnelling completed tunnelling beneath the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, marking a significant milestone for the development. This involved the use of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which operated at a depth of 10 metres and drilled a length of 25 metres as part of the site-wide drainage works.   Honouring tradition, the industry organisation CECA Midlands, named the TBM and chose ‘Red Emma’ in honour of Emma Sproson – a pioneering working-class political figure from the Black Country.  Now awarded the contract to deliver the first industrial unit on the development, a new 220,000 sq ft depot for Carlsberg Britvic, Winvic has commenced the 37-week build programme, with completion due in Spring 2026. The two-storey depot, which will include 11,408 sq. ft of office space, is being purpose-built to Carlsberg Britvic’s requirements and will feature state-of-the-art facilities to support the company’s growing logistics needs.   Designed with a focus on energy efficiency and building performance, the depot is targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’, EPC A+, and alignment with the Net Zero Framework Definition principles supporting the Net Zero Carbon Building Pilot Standard, aiming to achieve Net Zero in Operation.   In addition, it will include high efficiency heat pumps, rainwater harvesting and effective implementation of ecological measures throughout design, construction and handover, while the roofs will be 100% optimised for PV panels.  As part of the infrastructure phase, Winvic’s social responsibility team developed a bespoke Employment Skills and Training Plan to maximise opportunities for local communities and leave a lasting legacy across Staffordshire, South Staffordshire and Wolverhampton.    The contractor has facilitated 18 industry placements, including T Level, work experience and Year-in-Industry students, totalling 186 weeks of learning, and supported five apprentices. Training initiatives in collaboration with supply chain partners, such as Roller Driver training, have helped local residents to gain formal qualifications, enhance employability skills and secure successful employment outcomes.   Working closely with the dedicated WMI Brokerage (Staffordshire Jobs and Careers Service), new opportunities are cascaded to local employment partners, with 41% of the project workforce living within a 30-mile radius.  Winvic also launched the site’s first Careers Lead Encounter Day, in partnership with the Careers and Enterprise Company, inviting local school careers leads for site tours and in-depth insights into roles in engineering, planning, and design. Building on its success, Winvic hosted a Teacher Encounter Day to showcase real life examples of how science and geography link to construction careers.  During the construction of the new Carlsberg Britvic depot, Winvic will continue its commitment by continuing to deliver an Employment and Skills Plan, building on the relationships established during the infrastructure phase to further enhance opportunities and outcomes for local communities.   Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Logistics and Distribution at Winvic, said: “During our early contractor involvement and delivery of significant civils and infrastructure works, we have built collaborative relationships with Oxford Properties and LCP, so we are perfectly placed to deliver the first depot at one of the UK’s largest and most environmentally conscious intermodal logistics parks.  “Our team brings extensive experience of delivering similar sustainable, rail served sites and by working with our client, supply chain partners and the local authorities, WMI will give local people access to construction skills and employment, bringing significant economic benefit to the region and nationally.” David Bodily, Property & Facilities Director at Carlsberg Britvic, said: “The West Midlands Interchange will play an important role in Carlsberg Britvic’s logistics network, as the home to our West Midlands Depot serving customers throughout the region from Q4 2026. This is a very special moment for the development as work begins, and we are proud to take part and mark the occasion. Our new depot will provide a fantastic long-term hub for our people and reinforces the West Midlands role as a key centre for logistics in the UK, helping to drive growth and excellence.” Robin Everall, Head of Development at Oxford Properties, added: “This groundbreaking ceremony at the West Midlands Interchange is an important milestone in the development of the UK’s foremost logistics hub, with its multi-modal transport connectivity and highly sustainable specifications attracting blue chip occupiers looking for bespoke warehouse space. We look forward to working with Carlsberg Britvic on the delivery of their new facility and welcoming them to the site once it’s completed next year.” James Markby, Managing Partner at LCP, said:“We are extremely happy to have taken this major step forward for the West Midlands Interchange development. We were very proud to secure Carlsberg Britvic as our first occupier recently, and seeing work begin on Unit 5030 is another substantial event in our long-term ambitions. The WMI site is set to become the country’s most significant rail served logistics development and will become a crucial component of the UK’s strategic freight network. It will be key to decarbonising UK logistics and supporting the country’s wider net zero aspirations. It will also make a significant contribution to the local economy, creating 8500 direct jobs and boosting opportunities for people in South Staffordshire, the Black Country, the West
