Crest takes 100,000 sq ft Warrington warehouse

Crest Medical has signed a 10.5-year lease on a distribution facility in Chesford Grange with landlord Alpha Real Capital.

Crest is a storage and distribution business specialising in medical supplies. The company is relocating from a base close to the unit, and is doubling in size.

The warehouse was formerly occupied by mattress brand Dreams. The unit, located one mile south of the M62, includes 10,000 sq ft of offices over two storeys and more than 110 car parking spaces.

Alpha Real Capital completed a refurbishment of the facility as part of the deal with Crest

Alpha was advised by JLL and CBRE. Mason & Partners acted for Crest Medical.

Mark Sillitoe, industrial and logistics director at JLL in Manchester, said: "This is one of the largest North West industrial deals of the year so far and is a sign of Warrington's strength at the heart of the motorway network.

"The increasing lack of supply of good quality, well located units of 100,000 sq ft, combined with the strengthening occupier market, means that there's little doubt that we'll see a series of announcements regarding speculative development across the North West, before the year is out."
