A new 45,000 sq ft mixed-use development at Hartlebury Trading Estate is attracting strong enquiry levels from potential occupiers, the site’s asset managers have reported.
Hartlebury 45 is the latest opportunity at Worcestershire’s largest commercial estate, offering an internal height of 10m, dock and level access doors, and a maximum floor loading of 50kN/m2. The building, which has a 50m yard area and 61 car parking spaces for occupiers and visitors, includes fully fitted office accommodation, and in line with SCREF’s strong ESG ambitions, boasts an EPC A rating, BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard.
The high-speciation warehouse, which was developed by the team managing the Schroders Capital UK Real Estate Fund (“SCREF” or “the Fund”) in order to meet the ongoing strong demand for high-quality industrial space within the West Midlands, was completed ahead of schedule and unveiled earlier this year.
Rupert Jeffries of Collingwood Rigby, asset managers for the Estate, said:
“The Schroders Capital team’s intention in submitting plans to speculatively build this warehouse was to fulfil the ongoing demand for high-specification mid-box industrial opportunities within the Midlands, and we have received consistently strong enquiry levels from potential occupiers since launching the building.
“We are particularly proud of the building’s sustainable pedigree. Already Hartlebury Trading Estate has a strong reputation as the region’s premier commercial location for best-in-class business facilities and excellent logistics links, and the credentials of this opportunity make it a first-class solution.”
The Schroders Capital UK Real Estate Fund has owned Hartlebury Trading Estate, which extends to more than 200 acres, since 2013. The Estate is a UK hub to 100 businesses based in over 160 buildings ranging from 500 sq ft to more than 100,000 sq ft.
Occupiers include DPD, TNT, Worcestershire County Council, EDM Group, and Forest Garden.
