McLaren Construction has commenced its ambitious £30m logistics initiative as part of the first UK industrial scheme in the East Midlands.
Situated between the A1 and the M1 in the former mining village of Shireoaks, Nottinghamshire, this project is set to transform the local landscape with the introduction of two expansive industrial units.
These units will cover a total area of 550,000 square feet, providing substantial space for future logistics and industrial operations.
The initiative is the result of a noteworthy collaboration between German-American entities, Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH and Invesco Real Estate.
Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction said: “We are honoured to be working alongside Garbe and Invesco Real Estate as part of a joint venture for the first industrial and logistics scheme in the UK.
“Bringing our experience delivering exceptional quality sustainable industrial and logistics builds, and with the prime Midlands location of the site, the scheme is well positioned to support the operational growth needs of businesses across a variety of sectors.”
The scheme will include the design and construction of two industrial units, a private access road, and S38 works to create the main access route into the site and an adjacent plot.
Initial works include soft landscaping, turfing, and planting, with further plans for green cladding in varying shades, ribbon windows, and glazing.
