Hargreaves completes £40m Stockport industrial

WUKPG’s 205,000 sq ft scheme off Greg Street in South Reddish provides units ranging from 3,000 sq ft to 20,000 sq ft.

Hargreaves Contracting has completed the project, having been handed a £15m contract last year.

For WUKPG, the completion of the project marks a major milestone in a journey that began in 2017 with the acquisition of the site.

Oliver Lipson, director at WUKPG, said the scheme is aimed at serving a specific part of the market.

“While we’ve seen a significant number of new-build institutional big box sheds delivered across the UK for the logistics and distribution sectors, there’s a growing demand for good quality smaller sustainable modern industrial units,” he said.

“This development should prove to be a strong income-producing freehold asset to be held for long-term investment in our property portfolio. Vauxhall Trading Estate is positioned in a strong location in Stockport, Greater Manchester, a thriving, well-connected town with significant public and private investment across infrastructure and all real estate asset classes.”

Work to fill the units is now ongoing, with Sixteen and DTRE appointed as letting agents.

Recom was the project manager for the scheme, which was designed by C4 Projects.

Roscoe, BGS, and Roger Hannah also played a part in the delivery of the development.

Hargreaves managing director said the development “ranks among the very best industrial space currently available in the North West and further promotes the rejuvenation of the wider Stockport area.”
