Glencar has announced that is has completed construction of a new £32.5m six-unit industrial warehouse development in Kent.

The development totals 302,844 sq. ft and it was built for property development company Wrenbridge and its funding partner Bridges at a site in Aylesford.

The works saw the construction of all six warehouse units simultaneously, with each completed in shell form, including finished open-plan offices at first-floor level.

The development took Glencar, a UK construction company, 52 weeks to build, with three units already pre-let before completion.

The buildings have been constructed to Net Zero Carbon, are EPC A+ rated, and achieved the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification.

Roy Jones, Glencar Managing Director London and South, said: “We are very happy to once again successfully work with and deliver for our long-term and much esteemed repeat customer, Wrenbridge, on this development.

"The development offers contemporary, well-designed buildings built to the highest possible standards to ensure the impact on the environment is minimised."

The buildings, by design, will bring over £500,000 per annum savings on energy bills across the entire scheme, equating to a saving of approximately £1.81 per sq. ft per annum.

This is significant for potential occupiers, with the new space already much sought after, which is reflected in the fact that three units are already let.

Mr Jones said: "I would like to pay special thanks to the excellent team that worked on this development, who have delivered another exceptional result that we can be proud of.

"We look forward to working together with Wrenbridge again and continuing our strong partnership.”
