Construction News Image
McLaren Construction has made significant progress on an industrial and distribution hub in Derbyshire.

Phase 1B of Horizon 29 in Bolsover is located one mile from Junction 29A of the M1,

Horizon 29 is a new landmark distribution development, which once complete will span 1,150,256 sq. ft and have a total of eight warehouses, delivered over three phases.

Construction work started on Phase 1B in November last year and McLaren Construction is delivering design and construction work on two new speculative builds (Units 4 and 5), with extensive ground remediation works to stabilise the former coal site which will complete this summer.

Works delivered to date for Unit 4 of Phase 1B include earthworks and VSC piling, concrete foundations and steel framing alongside lift shaft and stair installations. Nets for roofing works and office elevation cladding have also been installed.

Earthworks are also complete for Unit 5 and concrete foundations have commenced alongside the construction of steel framing. CMC piling is also due to be finished this month.

The firm has also constructed two single storey distribution warehouses for P1A (Units 1 and 2), and all units at Horizon 29 will be constructed to a BREEAM Rating of 'Excellent' with an EPC 'A' Rating.

Sustainable features of the industrial and development hub include solar PVs, air source heat pumps, enhanced cladding, responsibly sourced sustainable materials, LED lighting and electric vehicle charging points.

Gary Cramp, Managing Director of McLaren Construction (Midlands and North), said: "We are delighted that works are progressing well at Horizon 29 P1B and we’re on track for completion this summer. In a prime location in the Midlands, Horizon 29 will be a premier distribution centre for the region, and an ideal hub for quality tenants looking for direct and easy access to the M1 north and south.

"Working with Bentall Green Oak and Equation Properties for the second phase of the build has allowed us to solidify our strong working relationship and we are incredibly pleased to be working with them across two pivotal phases of this landmark scheme."

Equation Properties is a London-based property development company for the distribution and industrial sector.
