Shed developer Panattoni has committed to speculatively develop a 515,000 sq ft unit at its 900,000 sq ft Derby Commercial Park, just outside the city.
The scheme will be one of the largest single-unit speculative developments under construction in the UK, behind Panattoni’s 513,000 sq ft shed in Wakefield, Yorkshire.
Derby 515, which is expected to complete in Q4 this year, will have 15m clear internal height, 56 dock doors and eight level access doors, as well as parking for 185 trailers. It will be built to BREEAM Very Good and EPC A ratings. It will comprise two self-contained units of 226,497 sq ft and 287,416 sq ft, each with 28 dock doors, four level access doors, a secure self-contained yard, a car park and own gatehouse.
Andy Preston, development manager for Panattoni Derby 515, said: “The new warehouse will be built to our normal high specifications offering flexibility and energy cost savings to occupiers. This will be one of the largest single-unit spec builds in the country and will benefit from being in one of the UK’s centres for advanced manufacturing and logistics.”
Letting agents on the scheme are Avison Young, CBRE and Burbage Realty.
