PPG develops Blackburn shed scheme

David Murray’s PPG Land is developing an industrial and warehouse development on a 10-acre site at Walker Park in Blackburn.


The company acquired the site from Bilsdale Properties and is planning a speculative scheme known as Point Five.


It will contain two buildings of 25,000 and 30,000 sq ft respectively, to be completed this year.


PPG also has outline consent for a further 135,000 sq ft of development for a design-and-build scheme at the site.


Daniel Burn of King Sturge, which is advising PPG, said the developer had already received interest in the larger building.


Rochdale-based developer Beva is on site elsewhere at Walker Park with a refurbishment of the former Magnum building, to be known as Beva at Walker Park.


It is being converted into a new scheme with units from 80,000 to 470,000 sq ft, available on a freehold or leasehold basis.


King Sturge and Taylor Weaver are agents for Walker Park.
