Construction company Glencar has completed two units of 87,000 sq ft and 116,500 sq ft for Wilson Bowden Developments in partnership with developer Cabot Properties, at Kingsway Business Park in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The Grade A units, which were developed speculatively and constructed in just 47 weeks, have been built to meet growing occupier demand in the region. 

The units are fitted to a high specification with yard depths up to 63m and a power availability up to 1.1MVA. They have also achieved a BREEAM Very Good certification, EPC A and benefit from a host of sustainability features including electric vehicle charging spaces, LED lighting and PV panels.

Glencar managing director Midlands and North, Pete Goodman said: “Kingsway Business Park is a premier destination for logistics in the Northwest and we are pleased to once again be delivering for long standing customer Wilson Bowden Developments and to be working for Cabot Properties.

“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the full project and professional team assembled on this project who have done an excellent job and delivered an outstanding outcome. It has been a pleasure to work on this development and we are looking forward to working on further developments in due course”

 Mike Williams, Cabot Properties director of investments, said: “We’re very proud to add the Kingsway Business Park logistics units to our expanding U.K. portfolio.

“This delivery on an accelerated timeline reflects our teams’ collaborative partnership and a shared commitment to quality. With highly functional, highly sustainable building features, the Kingsway properties offer an exceptional end-user experience in a critical industrial market.”

Henry Henson, Wilson Bowden, commercial development manager, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Cabot Properties in delivering further high-quality, Grade A speculative units at our flagship Kingsway Business Park development.
