It will feature 15m eaves height, Grade A offices, dock and level access loading doors, yard depths up to 56m, and separate car parking, all within a self-contained and secure site.
The unit has been designed to be sustainable from the start with 10% roof lights, solar panelled roof, dedicated EV charging points, cycle spaces, and staff wellbeing areas. The unit will be built to BREEAM 'Excellent' standards and is targeting EPC “A”.
Speaking about the contract award Peter Goodman, Glencar Managing Director Midlands & North said: "Trebor are without doubt one of the most active, leading developers in the I&L marketspace so we are naturally delighted to have been appointed by them for the first time.
"Our values and philosophy are very well aligned to that of Trebor in terms of our pursuit of excellence and sustainable building practices in all that we do.
"This development sits in a key strategic location in the well established industrial area along Weston Road (A532) and together with the high specification and array of sustainable features built in is likely to be a compelling proposition for occupiers seeking to base their operations in this area."
