Chinese e-commerce giant Jingdong Logistics, which also trades as JD Logistics, is strengthening its UK operations with the launch of a major new warehouse at Apollo, Ansty Park, near Coventry.
The firm has signed a long-term lease for Apollo 7, one of four high-spec units at logistics and manufacturing development Apollo, which is near Junction 2 of the M6 and Junction 1 of the M69.
The new 117,076 sq ft facility will support Jingdong Logistics’ third-party logistics services, including a key contract with a leading Chinese electronics company.
Duke Lu, Jingdong Logistics UK director, said: “This lease reflects our strategic plans to expand our overseas warehouse capacity in 2025, and provide better services for our customers all over the world.”
Apollo 7 is part of the second phase of development at Apollo, Ansty Park. Apollo 5 is under offer, while the remaining two units – ranging from 172,407 to 269,882 sq ft – are available for immediate occupation.
All units are built to the highest sustainability standards, featuring BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings, roof-mounted PV systems, and EV charging points.
A spokesperson for Jingdong Property added: “Jingdong Logistics’ investment at Apollo reflects growing demand for high-quality, sustainable logistics space in Coventry.
“This development will bring valuable job creation to the region, further establishing Ansty Park as a key employment hub.
“With excellent motorway connectivity and access to a highly skilled workforce, Apollo continues to attract strong interest from occupiers. We are working on a number of further lettings in the near future.”
The site is already home to major occupiers including Rolls-Royce, Sainsbury’s, Polestar, Fanuc, Manufacturing Technology Centre, Cadent Gas, London Electrical Vehicle Centre and Meggitt.
In addition to Ansty Park, Jingdong Property, also known as JD Property, has acquired a prime warehouse development site in Rugby, with plans to deliver a Grade A+, BREEAM Excellent certified facility.
Once completed, the 250,400 sq ft project will further enhance its growing international real estate portfolio.
