Maersk has signed a 15-year lease for GLP’s Mammoth 602 shed.
Billed as the “largest and most sustainable logistics building in the North of England”, the 602,000 sq ft unit at GLP’s G-Park Doncaster will become a crucial hub for the Danish shipping and logistics company.
G-Park Doncaster is located off Junction 4 of the M18, six miles from the centre of Doncaster.
The development has two 50m service yards, 20m clear internal height, 60 dock levellers, 16 large dock levellers, 24 level access and four van-level access doors with visibility from the M18. There is also 29,000 sq ft of office space within the building, 217 HGV parking spaces and 372 car park spaces.
Mammoth 602 is GLP’s third building to be net zero carbon for construction, in line with the UKGBC framework, and is part of the Planet Mark accreditation scheme which helps to further reduce the carbon footprint for the occupier.
It includes rainwater harvesting and a building analytics system, as well as a “tiny forest” – a dense but small group of trees planted in collaboration with Earth Watch and Rame Consulting to encourage biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
GLP Europe’s senior development director Adrienne Howells said: “The signing of this lease is a great milestone for our G-Park Doncaster development.
“Mammoth 602 offers a unique opportunity to lease a large-scale site in a prime logistics location in the North and exemplifies GLP’s innovative and comprehensive commitment to sustainability. Doncaster is already home to a variety of top-tier companies, including Next, Amazon, IKEA, B&Q and Asos, and we look forward to welcoming Maersk as a new customer.”
