Firethorn Trust and McLaren Construction have broken ground at the Sherburn42 development.
The development will see the creation of 660,000 sq. ft of logistics warehousing space in North Yorkshire.
Sitting adjacent to the Sherburn Enterprise Park in Leeds, the 37-acre scheme is being delivered by McLaren Construction Group and will be ready for occupation from Q3 2023.
Comprising four highly specified Grade-A industrial units, ranging from 57,750 to 280,000 sq. ft, Sherburn42 will be accredited by the UK Green Building Council for its net-zero carbon construction, with a design that looks to help occupiers reach their own operational sustainability targets.
Rated BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and ‘WELL-ready’, the enhanced specification also features full PV coverage and LED lighting to offices, in addition to existing and future EV charging capabilities. Benefiting from up to 4MvA power, plans include eaves heights of 15m to haunch, 11 ground-level access doors and 633 parking spaces.
Paul Martin, Development Director at Firethorn, said: "It is great to see work now underway to deliver this market-leading development, which we believe will offer a smart and sustainable solution for businesses looking to expand their operations.
"With excellent transport links across road, rail and sea, we look forward to bringing this scheme forward with McLaren over the next six months, as we work to further enhance connectivity within the region, boost the local economy, and improve the availability of modern and sustainable warehousing solutions across the UK."
