SEGRO Wapping shed gets green light

SEGRO has got the go ahead for a new 95,000 sq ft urban logistics facility in Wapping, E1. SEGRO Park Wapping comprises seven units ranging in size from 10,000 to 18,000 sq ft, spread over two terraces.  The development will target EPC A+ and BREEAM Excellent rating and will feature photovoltaic panels on the roof to generate renewable energy for occupiers.  Work on the speculative scheme is expected to start shortly. Bonnie Minshull, head of London at SEGRO, said: “The flight to quality trend continues to accelerate, with occupiers becoming increasingly particular with their demands for flexible, efficient and green workspace in central urban locations, in the heart of the economies and communities they serve. “SEGRO Park Wapping is our next generation of inner urban warehousing, raising the bar on sustainability and innovation, and being designed to complement a modern city environment in a high-demand central London location.”
