Caddick Construction has signed on to deliver the fourth industrial building at Cross Green Industrial Estate in Leeds.

The firm agreed a deal for the latest project following its success on the first two units at the site.

Cross Green Industrial Estate is prominently located close to the M1/M621 motorway network and is home to many manufacturing, distribution and warehousing operations, including John Lewis and Amazon.

Towngate Plc has a portfolio of more than 230,000 sq ft of space at the site which is known as Towngate Link. 

This new contract will see Caddick deliver a 16,500 sq ft detached double portal framed building along with infrastructure works and services for Towngate.


Work started at the Pontefract Lane site this week and will be complete by the end of June 2020.

The first two units saw wine merchant, London City Bond, expand into the 55,000 sq ft detached warehouse and Beerhawk take the second 62,500 sq ft warehouse.

Caddick is currently on site delivering a third unit which completes in March 2020 and is also pre-let. When this and the latest unit are both complete, together they can accommodate a workforce of around 150 people.

Robert Smith from Towngate said: "Caddick delivered the first phases of the site successfully and we are confident the same high-quality product will be delivered with this latest phase. The units at Towngate Link all let before completion and we’ve already had a lot of market interest in this latest phase."

Chris Allott, Senior Contracts Manager from Caddick Construction, added: "We are delighted to be working with Towngate again on this fourth phase. The units provide an ideal size to meet the need for small to medium sized businesses, for which there is a great deal of demand. We look forward to delivering another successful commercial building to further expand this popular development."
