Construction has successfully completed on the final speculative unit at Apollo, a c.850,000 sq ft warehouse/logistics scheme at Ansty Park in Coventry.
Apollo 5 delivers 301,591 sq ft of highly specified accommodation in a premier logistics and manufacturing location in the golden triangle, near Jct 2 of the M6 and Jct 1 of the M69.
It is the largest of four new speculative units built in the second phase of development at Apollo, Ansty Park, which are all available for immediate occupation.
Apollo 4, 6, and 7 vary in size from c.117,000 – c.269,000 sq ft and have been designed to suit a range of occupier types. Each of the four units contain industry-leading ESG credentials, including BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A, with roof-mounted PV arrays and EV charging points as part of the base build.
Apollo, Ansty Park is a 52-acre site with access to a high quality, landscaped park, and benefits from a running track, nature trail and wildlife corridor, 24/7 security and out of hours access. More than 240,000 sq ft of accommodation was constructed during the first phase of development, which is fully let.
