Work begins on Sittingbourne logistics site

Developer Panattoni said the 440,000sq ft and 205,000sq ft warehouses are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025 and will provide enhanced sustainability credentials.

It said Panattoni Park Sittingbourne is targeting net zero carbon development with an expected BREEAM sustainability rating of ‘Excellent’ and an EPC rating of ‘A’.

Both units will include the installation of roof-mounted photovoltaic panelling and electric vehicle charging points.

The site has 5MVa of power available, with a further 1.35MVa of power generated from the use of the solar panelling totalling 6.35MVa of power across the park.

The development provides access to national and international transport routes, with the port of Dover less than an hour away and easy connectivity to the M2, M20 and M25 motorways.

Panattoni development manager Alex Mitchell said: “Panattoni Park Sittingbourne provides occupiers with high-quality, modern logistics space with significantly enhanced sustainability credentials.

“The development of the site highlights our continued strategy to speculatively develop within under supply markets, capturing the sustained level of occupier demand for logistics assets with seamless connectivity to local, national and international distribution routes.”
