Construction Nears Completion At Greenbox Darlington
Construction is nearing completion at Greenbox Darlington, an industrial development brought forward by Greenbox to deliver over 400,000 sq.ft. of sustainable industrial space.
Greenbox is an innovative new platform which will provide sustainable, Grade A logistics and industrial unit space. With market-leading credentials in the UK, the platform has been built by Partners Group, one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, acting on behalf of its clients, in conjunction with Citivale, a specialist logistics developer and operator.
Greenbox Darlington comprises three prime industrial units, ranging from 84,000 sq. ft to 213,000 sq. ft. Designed to create a lasting positive impact, Greenbox Darlington will embody Greenbox’s ongoing commitment to responsible ESG policies and exceptional sustainability practices, targeting Net Zero Carbon in Construction and Operation alongside an EPC ‘A’ and BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. The three units will utilise LED lighting, 100% photovoltaic panel-ready roofs and reserve 10% of parking spaces for electric vehicles.
Strategically positioned within close proximity to the A66, and next to three junctions on the A1(M), the development will have excellent road access on a national and local scale within the manufacturing and industrial hub of the Northeast of England. Key occupiers, including British Steel, Cummins Engines, Nobia and e-commerce giant, Amazon are also all easily accessible to the development.
Marketed by leading property agents Savills and HTA Real Estate, units at Greenbox Darlington offer 50m yard depths and 50Kn per m2 floor loading, delivering bespoke spaces tailored to individual occupiers’ specific requirements. The new development will also have a 3.5MVA power capacity alongside supporting office space.
As the completion date approaches, Winvic, who are the contractor for the scheme and the UK's leading industrial and Net Zero specialist in the sector, is working hard to ensure that every element is completed to the highest standard.
