Work begins on small Kingsway units
Barnfield Construction has started on site with 11 industrial units at the Rochdale business park, ranging in size from 3,000 sq ft to 15,500 sq ft.
The 60,000 sq ft development, billed as Logic@Kingsway, is scheduled for completion in March 2019.
Wilson Bowden is acting as project manager on the development, which will be owned by Rochdale Borough Council.
Cllr Aasim Rashid, assistant cabinet member for economy at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “Kingsway continues to be one of the UK’s best performing business parks, it has brought significant investment to Rochdale and has created over 3000 new jobs.
“The addition of these small units brings greater opportunities to companies across the borough and will attract other new businesses that are looking for high quality industrial units with direct motorway access”.
The development takes up Plot D at Kingsway, the 420-acre site accessed from junction 21 of the M62. Kingsway has become best known for large scale distribution facilities, and still has design and build opportunities of up to 275,000 sq ft available.
The retained agents for Logic@Kingsway are BC Real Estate, Barton Kendal and JLL.
