Glencar has announced it has completed two warehouse units of 87,000 and 116,500 sq. ft for Wilson Bowden Developments, in Rochdale.

Developed speculatively and constructed in just 47 weeks, the units are situated at Kingsway Business Park in Rochdale, Greater Manchester in a prime North West location.

The Grade A specified assets are set to bring much needed supply to the market meeting the growing occupier demand in the region.

The development by Glencar, a UK construction firm, served as the first collaboration between Wilson Bowden Developments and Cabot Properties.

The units are fitted to a high specification with generous clear heights, yard depths up to 63m and a power availability up to 1.1MVA.

The units have strong sustainability credentials achieving a BREEAM Very Good certification, EPC A and benefit from a host of sustainability features including electric vehicle charging spaces, LED lighting and PV panels.
