First units to be available from Q4 2022 Citrus Durham has announced that it is working up detailed plans to speculatively develop a four-unit industrial scheme totalling 337,225 sq ft at its £300m mixed-use Integra 61 development at J61 of the A1(M). The masterplan for the 20-acre plot incorporates four high quality units of 42,000 sq ft, 63,000 sq ft, 84,000 sq ft and 148,225 sq ft to satisfy huge regional demand. The new development will occupy the most prominent site at the centre of the 205-acre Integra 61 scheme, which has outline consent for over 3 million sq ft of employment space with the potential to create some 4,000 jobs and is already home to Amazon’s 2m sq ft Fulfilment Centre. Detailed plans will be submitted to Durham County Council in January 2022 and the team is already talking to contractors about a start on site in April 2022 which would lead to the first buildings being available by December 2022. Integra 61 is the largest logistics and manufacturing opportunity in a generation in the North East and offers occupiers design and build packages for units up to 500,000 sq ft as well as small units within Evolution@Integra 61 where 23 flexible business units totalling 52,142 sq ft in sizes from 1,205 sq ft up to 6,480 sq ft will be available to purchase or lease. The plans for the new development continue Citrus Durham’s objective to create an inclusive development that provides high quality accommodation for occupiers of all sizes. David Cullingford, Project Lead for Integra 61 and Citrus Durham, said; “This further multi-million pound investment in the project demonstrates our continuing commitment to the region and our objective of creating the premier business location in County Durham. The shortages of grade A space are well documented, especially following the first half of the year where take-up increased by 56% on the year-on-year figures in the North East. These much-needed new units will help businesses to grow and generate further jobs for local people. We look forward to getting construction underway early in the new year.” Robert Rae, Principal and Managing Director at Avison and Young, said; “Integra 61 has the capacity to satisfy occupier requirements of all sizes and requirements and as such is a huge asset to the North East at a time when supply levels are so critically low. These new four units are sized to align with the huge demand that we are witnessing and will give occupiers the opportunity to be part of a superb mixed-use development in one of the most strategic locations in the North East.” Located at J61 of the A1(M), Integra 61 is just 4 miles away from the City of Durham and will also include circa 300 new homes, 70-bed hotel, family pub/restaurant, nursery, drive-thrus and a number of trade counter/roadside units all adding to the diverse offering.
Savills Appointed To Seek Developer For Prime Site Citrus Durham has appointed Savills to market a prime residential site for up to 120 homes at its flagship, £300m mixed-use Integra 61 development at J61 of the A1(M). Savills has been instructed to seek an interested party to bring forward a high quality development on the 8 acre site within the Integra 61 development which already has planning approval for circa 300 homes, over 3 million sq ft of sustainable employment space, a 70-bed hotel, a family pub/restaurant, a nursery, car showrooms and a number of trade counter/retail units all adding to the diverse offering. Phase 1 of residential development at Integra 61 is currently being delivered by Persimmon, with the £18M Millbeck Grange scheme well underway and the first residents of the total 170 homes moving in last year. Phase 2 is on the northern part of the site which is surrounded by Bowburn Beck, existing and new build housing and is connected to the centre of Bowburn Village by a newly constructed footpath. Savills is inviting offers by noon on Friday 28th May 2021. Located at J61 of the A1(M) Integra 61 is just 4 miles away from the City of Durham and as such is well connected for future residents in addition to having a range of amenities and job opportunities on the site itself, making it a highly sustainable location. The sale of the residential plot follows on from the recent announcement that Citrus Durham was awarded planning consent to deliver a new business hub, Evolution@Integra61, which will be delivered speculatively and add up to a further 23 flexible units available to purchase or lease making the development truly inclusive for occupiers of all sizes. David Cullingford, Project Lead for Integra 61 and Citrus Durham, said; “The residential element of Integra 61 makes an important contribution to the wider project and to meeting the housing requirements in County Durham. We are creating a new community with a wide range of amenities in a safe and attractive environment that’s well connected and of a high quality. We are looking forward to engaging with the successful party to bring forward this next phase of development.” David Craig, Associate Director at Savills, continued; “The site provides developers with a shovel-ready opportunity to deliver a high quality residential development which benefits from excellent connectivity and its proximity to one of the largest mixed use developments in the region. Integra 61 has proven to be a highly attractive location from a housing and commercial perspective and the continuation of its progression will further add to its vibrancy and appeal.” Interested parties to contact David Craig (0191 323 3145) or Ray Minto (0191 323 3142) at Savills Newcastle.
