Bankfoot APAM cracks on with £37.5m Warrington Works

J P Tisdale has won the £1.5m demolition contract to raze the existing 375,000 sq ft of outdated logistics space, which the development manager aims to replace with four energy-efficient, mid-box units.

The demolition contractor appointment comes less than two weeks after Bankfoot APAM secured planning permission for the scheme from Warrington Council.

With a development cost of £37.5m, Warrington Works will comprise four units totalling 295,000 sq ft when complete. The smallest of the AEW Architects-designed sheds will be 51,000 sq ft, with the largest set to be 102,000 sq ft.

Warrington Works is set on 14-acre former Eddie Stobart site, which was most recently occupied by 3PL company Great Bear. It sits off Hawleys Lane, under two miles from the M62.

Bankfoot APAM is leading the development on behalf of landowner CapitaLand Ascendas REIT. Bankfoot APAM aims to appoint a main contractor later this year.

Bankfoot APAM senior director Andy Day described J P Tisdale’s appointment as “an important milestone” for Warrington Works.

“J P Tisdale bring the right experience to manage this phase safely and efficiently, and we’re looking forward to seeing the site prepared for the next stage of this exciting scheme,” he said.

In addition to AEW Architects, the project team for Warrington Works includes Rihbell, Savills, HTS, CWC, and Urban Green. Knight Frank and DTRE are the joint letting agents for the site.
