SEGRO has signed a 10-year lease with existing customer Lanes for Drains for 9 Cambridge Avenue, Slough Trading Estate, a warehouse which was dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere on the estate to make way for the new Leigh Road bridge.
The new building will provide Lanes for Drains, drain-cleaning and repair specialists, with more modern business space and will be the main hub for their operations in the Thames Valley and North London.
The 35,345 sq ft unit was relocated due to the construction of the new £10m Leigh Road bridge, which opened in October.
Environmental studies showed that it was viable to dismantle the original, modern building on Leigh Road and to recycle the materials, specifically using the original steel frame.
The building was demolished and materials reused. The project took 11 months to dismantle and rebuild.
Gareth Osborn, business unit director for SEGRO in the Thames Valley, said: “Our ongoing development plans for the Slough Trading Estate are designed to meet the rise in occupier demand that we are seeing for modern, well-located industrial buildings. It is our priority to create additional space that enables our customers to grow their businesses.”
Cushman & Wakefield is the letting agent for the Slough Trading Estate.
