Construction of one of the largest speculatively built industrial units in the South West region has now completed.
Western 105, located in the South West’s premier distribution location, Western Approach, comprises 106,890 sq ft of new distribution / manufacturing space on a site of 6.74 acres.
The property is a joint venture by Richardson and Curtis Hall and is being marketed by Cushman & Wakefield and Russell Property Consultants on a leasehold or freehold basis and is available for immediate occupation.
The unit is located 0.80 miles from the proposed new M49 motorway junction which is due to complete in 2019 and will provide access to the UK motorway network.
Chris Yates of Cushman & Wakefield comments: “Our clients have delivered high-quality premises with a truly ‘Grade A’ specification including a total of 10 vehicular loading doors (8 dock and 2 level access), 12m clear internal eaves height, 50KN sq m floor loading, fully fitted offices and a surfaced yard area (accommodating a maximum 76.50m depth). Significantly, the premises also benefit from a substantial power supply, capable of delivering up to 2MVA of electricity, together with a gas supply of 600KW, itself capable of being upscaled if required. Such attributes render the property suitable for more tailored occupier fit outs, including temperature-controlled storage, food preparation and more power-intensive manufacturing operations – of course alongside the more generic B2 (manufacturing) and B8 (storage and distribution) uses, for which the property has full planning permission.”
Rob Russell of Russell Property Consultants added: “The premises are located in close proximity to the new M49 junction, just two minutes’ drive time from site. Onward access to the UK motorway network is afforded at Junction 18 of the M5, just 6 miles south, with the M4 / M5 interchange only nine miles to the north east. The premises further benefit from proximity to Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Docks, which provides for both rail and sea access, helping to demonstrate the strength of this distribution location – something further evidenced by the calibre of occupier that has already committed to Western Approach (some 4 million sq ft of development for the likes of Amazon, DHL, Royal Mail, The Range and Lidl). With the abolition of the Prince of Wales (Severn) Bridge toll in December, linking into South Wales, Western 105 is truly located at the centre of a north-south-east-west crossroads.”
Western Approach is home to a number of household names including, Next, Royal Mail, GKN Aerospace, DHL, Lidl, and Amazon. It is one of the main distribution locations in the UK with over 6 million sq ft of development, offering strategic multi-modal connections via road, rail and sea.
