St. Modwen Logistics unveils massive Derby investment

Phase 2 is expected to follow within the next two years and will deliver the remaining 550,000 sq ft of warehouse space.

The aim is to deliver sustainable high-quality warehouse space and the development could bring up to 1,250 new jobs, to the 67-acre brownfield site. 

The land previously formed part of industrial railway sidings.

The first four units will be built speculatively - units of 39,000 sq ft, 54,000 sq ft, 79,000 sq ft, and 131,000 sq ft. Totalling 303,000 sq ft, Phase 1 is due to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2022.

Each unit is to come complete with a photovoltaic (PV) system, and combined with enhanced building fabric, building services and on-site generation is expected to achieve over 50% carbon reduction.
