DP World in the United Kingdom has announced that London Gateway’s Logistics Park will fast-track the delivery of a speculative 13,565m² green warehouse facility, which is expected to be completed and ready for occupation in December 2021.
[s2If is_user_logged_in()]With the new facility, the UAE-based global operator aims to manage the growing demand for premium warehousing space in the South East of England.
This move follows the letting upon completion of LG231, a 21.370m² warehouse facility, to P&O Ferrymasters last year.
DP World has commissioned the new LG146 facility to create the space needed by businesses that want to take advantage of the logistics park being adjacent to London Gateway’s deep-water port and road and rail connections to the capital, Europe’s largest consumer market. Increasingly, retailers are expanding their operations at London Gateway to satisfy surging demand for online goods, according to a statement.
“The new facility will be ready for occupancy in the last quarter of the year and will be one of the most sustainable warehouses yet built, with a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ classification, EPC Rating A and Planet Mark Accredited. We are using the latest sustainable technologies to drive down both the use of raw materials and carbon emissions to the minimum possible levels,” said Oliver Treneman, park development director at DP World in the UK.
London Gateway has almost 930,000m² of land with planning consent and tapping into the expanding demand for warehousing to support e-commerce, DP World can work with customers on their building requirements of up to 111,485m² and deliver solutions via a 28-day planning agreement with the local council.
“We aim to provide supply chain integration and our park is the largest facility of its kind in Europe,” pointed out Treneman who went on to note that “From this location, our customers can reduce transport costs, gain access to international supply chains and markets, and benefit directly from port-centric logistics.”
