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.
