Project Overview
This warehouse construction project delivered a state-of-the-art 90,000ft² warehouse and logistics centre, combining modern operational efficiency with the careful retention of important site heritage.
The scheme includes 67,000ft² of purpose-built warehouse space and 23,000ft² of premium office accommodation arranged across four storeys. A full-height curtain wall defines the office façade, creating a contemporary appearance while incorporating art deco-inspired detailing that reflects the history of the site.
Sustainability was central to the development, with the project targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating and EPC A+. Energy-efficient features included extensive PV panel installations, rooflights to maximise natural daylight and carefully planned landscaping to support biodiversity.
The project also retained important Grade II-listed heritage features from the former Firestone Factory, including the original steps and cast iron railings.
This warehouse construction project demonstrates how modern logistics facilities can deliver high levels of functionality while respecting historic site features and supporting more sustainable commercial development.
Large-scale warehouse construction projects require careful early-stage pricing and commercial review, which is where our pre-construction tender estimating services can support contractors, developers and project teams.
