Yodel Delivery Network has taken a 15-year lease on the first speculative logistics facility at Symmetry Park, Merseyside.
The 161,900 sq ft building is currently under construction, with completion scheduled for the first half of next year.
The development forms part of a wider 838,100 sq ft infrastructure project, spanning across a 120-acre site formerly known as Cronton Colliery.
Sarah Chicken, development surveyor at Tritax, said: “Working closely with Knowsley Council and securing funding from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has enabled us to bring this disused site back into use and generate further investment and jobs for the area.
“In terms of the wider activity at Symmetry Park, a reserved matters application has been submitted for approximately 350,000 sq ft across two units which we’ll be looking to deliver on site next year, focusing primarily on the spec unit of 230,000 sq ft.”
CBRE represented Yodel. Gerald Eve and Cushman & Wakefield are joint letting agents for the scheme.
