The Maritime Knowledge Hub receives approval

The Maritime Knowledge Hub receives approval

Wirral Council has approved plans to build The Maritime Knowledge Hub at Peel L&P’s Wirral Waters. The Hub will be a high-level industrial and maritime facility, supporting the region’s £5 billion maritime ecosystem where research and innovation will focus on making the most of the incredible opportunities that decarbonisation of the global $3trillion maritime sector brings. The Hub will also include business accelerator space and conference facilities for both the marine sector and the local business community. Designed by architects Ellis Williams Architects, the Maritime Knowledge Hub will be an architectural landmark and is set to be one of the most important parts of the entire Wirral Waters regeneration project, which will drive economic growth and job creation to the Liverpool City Region and beyond. Set within the existing 19th century Hydraulic Tower building and Engine House, originally designed by Jesse Hartley’s son, John Bernard Hartley, as a copy of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, the Maritime Knowledge Hub project will breathe new life into the building. The architects and design team worked to maximise the sustainability of the project whilst retaining as much of the building’s original character as possible, complementing the iconic tower with the creation of a new 4 storey extension to accommodate some of the country’s most famous and innovative maritime organisations. The facility will be industry led and will drive research and innovation by bringing education, businesses and Government together within the maritime sector. Support for the sector is critical to the economy – with a direct turnover of £55billion, and an overall economic impact of £116bn to the UK, the UK’s maritime sector contributes more than rail and aviation combined. The world leading research and innovation within the Maritime Knowledge Hub will have a particular focus on the decarbonisation of the maritime industry as well as technology transfer from other industries. It will also bring education, employers and businesses together to drive innovation and research within the marine and maritime sectors. Wirral Council granted planning permission yesterday after the application was submitted in May 2022.  Project partners include Peel L&P, Mersey Maritime, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Wirral Council, alongside a number of industry partners. It is expected that the project will be on site in 2023.

HelloParks expands in the southern gateway of the Hungarian capital

HelloParks expands in the southern gateway of the Hungarian capital

HelloParks, founded just over two years ago as a member of Futureal Group, is expanding further with the launch of its latest industrial real estate investment in Alsónémedi, where the company plans to build a 60,000 sqm hall in accordance with the highest sustainability standards. The successful completion of the land transaction was achieved with the assistance of the consultancy firm Grifton Property. HelloParks, having three modern megaparks in Fót, Maglód and Páty under construction, will be present in the vicinity of the fourth key transport hub around Budapest by the project in Alsónémedi. As a result of the investment, HelloParks is working on the development of more than 1 million sqm of warehouse and industrial space. HelloParks, the Hungarian industrial developer company that creates sustainable megaparks, is launching another project in the southern submarket of Budapest. The construction will soon start on a 135,000 sqm site in Alsónémedi, close to the junction of the M0 and M5 motorways and BILK (Budapest Intermodal Logistics Centre) container terminal. The Big Box type building, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, will be the company’s largest project to date with a total of 60 000 sqm of flexible space to serve tenants’ demands. The development will bring HelloParks’ industrial real estates to another key location after Fót, Maglód and Páty, giving the company full coverage of the Hungarian capital’s surrounding area. Sustainability and energy efficiency are a priority in HelloParks’ investments. To this end, the new building will be built according to the strictest criteria of the New Construction category of BREEAM sustainability standard to achieve the Outstanding rating and to the EU Taxonomy requirements, as will all the company’s new halls. In Hungary, HelloParks is currently the only developer to build industrial buildings in line with these requirements. The hall will be equipped with a modern building management system (BMS) that tenants can have access to, using the company’s own proprietary application. The mobile app will allow them to monitor energy and utility consumption and adjust heating, ventilation and lighting settings in their rented areas. “There is significant demand for our environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and smart industrial buildings. This is one of the reasons why we are now starting development in the southern submarket of Budapest, following Fót, Maglód and Páty, and are now present in all important locations around the Hungarian capital. We make great effort to meet market demand that is why we are currently developing industrial real estates at a fast pace in all our locations” – said Rudolf Nemes, CEO of HelloParks. The Hungarian-owned industrial real estate developer started major construction works in 2021 on three sites where around 140,000 sqm of industrial building has already been completed. The company is currently working on nearly 130,000 sqm of warehouses which will be expanded by a further 60,000 sqm when construction of the planned hall in Alsónémedi starts. HelloParks’ first two buildings in Maglód and Fót – MG1 and FT1 – were 100% occupied with tenants in record time last year. Since then, the second phase in Maglod, MG3, has also received its occupancy permit, while two more buildings in Fót, FT6 and FT2, are due to be handed over soon. The completion of the first warehouse, PT1, which is being built in HelloParks Páty, will also be completed this year.

St Modwen's Park and Leics Distribution Park boost Q4 for leading commercial property agent

Commercial property agents reveal ‘bumper’ results to end 2022 

A NUMBER of successful large transactions helped to boost East Midlands commercial property agents Innes England’s results at the end of last year, the company has revealed.     The deals included more than 200,000 sq ft of transactions in phase 1 at St Modwen Park Derby, the flagship industrial and logistics development on Pride Park which has seen a huge amount of activity over the last 12 months and is going from strength to strength this year.      Another significant deal involved the letting of the final 150,000 sq ft unit at Leicester Distribution Park (LEDP), located off the A47 near Leicester city centre, to third party logistics operator XPO. Innes England, M1 and CBRE acted on behalf of property developer Graftongate and investment managers BlackRock to complete the 45-acre scheme’s final phase.     The transactions helped to mark a successful last quarter of 2022 for Innes England, despite an unsettled second half of the year for the commercial property market – as the company’s recent Market Insite report noted.     Peter Doleman, the firm’s head of agency, said: “What is particularly pleasing about this latest set of results is that all three of our East Midlands offices made significant contributions to the end result which incorporated both acquisition and disposal activity and demonstrated the breadth and depth of expertise offered by the Innes England team.”    Derby’s industrial real estate take-up continued its acceleration last year, with 1.2m sq ft of space being acquired – up from 891,000 sq ft and the second-highest take-up on record, according to Market Insite.   Nick Hosking, Innes England’s director and head of agency and development in the city, said: “Derby’s industrial figures have never been better and with demand continuing to outstrip supply we see that trend continuing this year.     “The developer St Modwen has invested £50m into the local economy over the last 12 to 18 months, with the delivery of 300,000 sq ft of new build grade A warehousing accommodation.  “Following the success of phase 1 it is really encouraging news that St Modwen will shortly deliver the next phase with the development of a further 350,000 sq ft, given industrial supply in Derby remains extremely thin on the ground.”  The optimistic outlook continues with the recent announcement that heating technology company Vaillant is to open a production site at St Modwen Park Derby, creating more than 200 jobs.     The custom-built site is due to open in the autumn to allow Vaillant, which has its UK headquarters at Belper, to meet increasing demand for heat pumps.     And Swedish medical technology manufacturer Getinge has revealed plans for a new global centre of excellence for chemistry and its UK headquarters at St Modwen Park Derby.     Nick added: “Attracting Getinge to the scheme is really positive news for Derby, enabling its continued expansion and securing valuable hi-tech jobs within the city.”     Meanwhile, Leicestershire’s industrial take-up of four million sq ft of space in the year was ‘excellent news’ added Peter. “It can be partly explained by the county’s exposure to the national distribution market and its location for a number of sites that cater for this specific massive market.”   The office market in Leicester topped the leader board in the industry’s Estates Gazette Radius On-Demand rankings on lettings and occupational sales transacted between October and December in 2022.     In Nottingham, Innes England director Scott Osborne facilitated a multi-million pound transaction on behalf of Henton and Chattell, the UK’s leading distributor of ground care and garden machinery.      The company acquired three income-producing buildings of nearly 50,000 sq ft in Abbeyfield Road as part of its ambitious expansion plans.     Scott added: “Innes England experienced a bumper end of the year with almost half a million square feet transacted in the last quarter. We look forward to many more successful deals in 2023.”   Innes England’s new Birmingham office – opened last year under its head of office Adam Rock – had also exceeded expectations in its first nine months on the level of instructions and turnover generated, the company said.    To find out more about Innes England, visit the company’s website: https://www.innes-england.com/     Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Gladman and Stoford plan employment development at revitalised Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield

Gladman and Stoford plan employment development at revitalised Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield

The UK’s largest land promoter, Gladman, and leading commercial property developer, Stoford, are to deliver a new employment park as part of plans to revitalise Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield. Stoford will act as delivery partner for the employment development at the airfield, which is located near Stratford-upon-Avon. The deal could release up to 140 acres of much needed employment land along the M40 corridor and is part of a promotion strategy, led by Gladman, to provide a new runway and enhanced aviation facilities in order to secure the long-term future of the airfield. A memorandum of understanding was agreed last year between the owners of the airfield and Stratford-on-Avon District Council, which ensures that aviation will continue at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield whilst plans for the future enhancement of the facility are developed and discussed. Best known for its role during World War II, Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield was formerly the Royal Air Force station RAF Wellesbourne Mountford. Stoford Land Director, Andy Hartwright, said: “We’re excited to be supporting the progression of this strategically important opportunity at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield. We’ll be working closely with Gladman, the landowner and Stratford-on-Avon District Council, to assist with the site’s journey through the planning process to the delivery of a high quality employment park. It has the potential to deliver high-tech jobs and offer a significant employment stream for the region.” Chris Still, Senior Planning & Development Director at Gladman, said: “We look forward to sharing our proposals for the site over the coming months, and hope to be in position to submit a planning application by the summer.” Matt Pochin, Director of Legat Owen, said: “The evolution of the Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield into a modern facility, in conjunction with the release of much needed employment land, has needed Stoford’s market leading credentials as a developer to move to the next stage of the process. On behalf of the landowners, we undertook a rigorous interview process to establish that Stoford is the perfect party to bring the scheme to fruition and we now look forward to seeing real progress on site.” Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield is located in an established employment area near the University of Warwick’s Wellesbourne Campus, less than four miles east of Stratford-upon-Avon. The site benefits from excellent communication links and is just 4.6 miles from Jct 15 of the M40 motorway. Stoford was represented by Savills and Gateley Legal, with Smith Partnership and Legat Owen acting on behalf of the landowners and Gladman.

Panattoni increases commitment to south coast logistics market with 452,469 sq ft speculative park

Panattoni increases commitment to south coast logistics market with 452,469 sq ft speculative park

Panattoni, the largest logistics real estate developer in the UK and Europe, has begun speculatively developing a 452,469 sq ft last-mile logistics development at Burgess Hill, 45 miles south of London. Construction at Panattoni Park Burgess Hill follows the granting of planning consent by Mid Sussex District Council at the end of January and reflects Panattoni’s confidence in the strength of the south coast logistics market, where the demand-supply imbalance is acute. Panattoni’s expansion for developments south of London comes following purchases of sites in Crawley and Brighton. Panattoni Park Burgess Hill is located on a 22-acre site, which fronts the A2300 dual carriageway and provides fast access to the A23/M23, Gatwick Airport, Brighton and the wider south coast markets, and is adjacent to facilities occupied by DPD and Roche. Panattoni is intending to speculatively develop 14 units, with planning in place for light industrial, general industrial and warehousing and distribution. The units will be built to a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’ and an EPC rating of ‘A’ and will benefit from 15% roof lights, electric charging points for vans and cars and up to 7.5 MVa of available power. David McGougan, Development Director at Panattoni, said: “We are pleased to be bringing forward this first of three southern developments planned for 2024, which will provide 452,469 sq ft of space in 14 units. This scale of construction emphasises our continued commitment to speculative development in key, undersupplied markets. “We start on site in March this year and will have all units completed and ready for occupation in the first quarter of 2024. We forecast that the delivery of these new units will provide up to 1,000 jobs to the region. “We are delivering a wide range of unit sizes from 8,136 up to 142,815 sq ft in one phase to meet the high occupier demand for industrial and logistics space in the south market, where there is a critical lack of stock to serve such a big market of consumers”.  Agents at Panattoni Park Burgess Hill are DTRE, Lambert Smith Hampton and SHW.

Glencar announces completion of four unit industrial development for St. Modwen Logistics in Newport

Glencar announces completion of four unit industrial development for St. Modwen Logistics in Newport

The new 116,000 sq. ft sustainable scheme which was developed speculatively is the third development to date to be recently delivered by Glencar for St. Modwen Logistics, with one unit of 17,000 sq. ft already pre-let. Glencar, a leading UK construction company that was recently ranked amongst Europe’s fastest growing businesses, has today announced the completion of four new high quality, sustainable warehouses totalling 116,000 sq. ft for leading logistics developer and manager St. Modwen Logistics at its St Modwen Park multi-unit logistics and industrial development in Newport. Developed in response to growing demand in the region to support business growth, one building totalling 17,000 sq. ft has been pre-let to adhesive manufacturer Ureka Global. The units are all EPC A-rated and hold a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ accreditation, helping potential occupiers to meet their own ESG targets and reduce energy usage through the inclusion of a range of energy-efficient features. Built in line with St. Modwen’s ‘Swan Standard’ approach to sustainable construction, the buildings feature intelligent and sustainable LED lighting, smart metering and rainwater harvesting. Air source heat pumps are used for heating the office elements of the warehouses and solar (PV) panels on the roofs provide a proportion of the power for each unit, as well as encouraging greener ways of commuting through the inclusion on EV charging points and dedicated cycling routes. Commenting on the project Pete Goodman, Glencar Managing Director Midlands and North said: “St. Modwen Park Newport is the third development we have delivered to date for St. Modwen Logistics recently and a sign of our expanding relationship.  Whether it is for a speculative development or built to suit requirement our teams and expertise is unrivalled in the Logistics & Industrial space and we are delighted to have delivered again to a high standard. Over the past 12 months Glencar has built and delivered over 400,000 sq. ft of Grade A industrial and logistics space for St. Modwen Logistics and its clients as it continues its rapid expansion in the South West demonstrating its commitment to helping customers to scale into big box warehouse space and supporting job creation and economic growth across the region”. Mark Snow, Senior Development Director, at St. Modwen Logistics, commented: “St. Modwen Park Newport is located in Wales’ fastest-growing city, with nearly half a million economically active people within 30 minutes’ drive time, which underpinned our decision to bring these units forward speculatively. The park is already home to a number of leading business and a range of warehouse uses, and the addition of over 100,000 sq. ft of modern logistics space will provide opportunities for companies to expand and grow, and support a diverse mix of employment. We are delighted to have partnered once again with Glencar to construct these units and they have done an incredible job.  The units look immaculate with the rich array of sustainable features impressive to see in action.  We look forward to working with them on the next project and continuing to expand our relationship”. St. Modwen Park Newport is strategically located to provide excellent connectivity to South Wales and South West England, with Junction 23A of the M4 motorway within two miles of the park via Queen’s Way, and Cardiff and Bristol reachable within 12 miles and 30 miles respectively. The estate and surrounding area benefit from the de-tolling of the Severn Bridges, further enhancing its accessibility by road. The delivery of these warehouses takes St. Modwen Park Newport to c.345,000 sq. ft of warehouse space and is already home to the likes of Amazon, Genpower, CAF and Mitel. Phase 4, which comprises an additional 263,000 sq. ft of best-in-class logistics space, is due to complete in Summer 2023.
