Work to create a huge industrial shed on the outskirts of Wigan has finished. Building firm Glencar has completed construction at Martland Park of a 102,000 sq ft industrial and logistics unit commissioned by commercial property developer Hillwood UK.
High-specification unit with sustainability measures
The builder said the high-specification unit has been developed to 'meet the requirements of modern industrial and logistics occupiers, with a strong focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, and long-term performance'.
The completed warehouse, close to the M6 and the Heinz complex at Kitt Green, has first-floor office accommodation and a range of sustainability measures including photovoltaic panels and electric vehicle charging points. Works also included groundworks and drainage infrastructure to support the site.
Supporting employment and inward investment
Glencar said the completed building provides 'high-quality, future-ready industrial space, supporting employment and inward investment in Wigan'. It said the building sets 'a new benchmark for sustainable industrial and logistics development at Martland Park'.
No occupier for the massive space has been announced as yet.
Collaboration praised by developers
Tom Kearsley, north regional director at Glencar, said: “The completion of Martland Park is a strong example of what can be achieved through close collaboration with a committed client and consultant team. We are proud to have delivered a high-quality, sustainable facility for Hillwood UK that meets the demands of modern industrial and logistics occupiers.”
Mark Wright, vice president at Hillwood UK, said: “The development reflects our commitment to providing sustainable, well-designed industrial and logistics space and represents an excellent addition to our portfolio in the North West.”
