Maple Grove kicks off infra works at Penrith industrial  

Maple Grove Developments, part of the Eric Wright Group, is preparing the way for 250,000 sq ft of logistics space close to Junction 41 of the M6.

MGD’s 19-acre site, just north of Penrith, is adjacent to the A6. Outline consent is established, with Toman Construction delivering this initial phase of works.

The project team includes C4 Projects as architect, Adams Planning & Development, quantity surveyor GWB Consultants and Stantec, working on highways, M&E and structures.

James Scott, managing director at Maple Grove, said: “We have worked closely with the local authority to finalise the site’s infrastructure design and are pleased to be at a stage where we can commence these works and open up the access to the site.”

CBRE and Carlisle-based Carigiet Owen are joint agents on the project.

Paul Cook, senior director of I&L at CBRE, said: “This announcement demonstrates Maple Grove’s commitment to delivering a new high-quality commercial development in this area of Cumbria.

“The location of the site, coupled with the fact that power has already been secured, is already attracting interest from occupiers looking for modern accommodation in this area of the North.”
