Chancerygate and Northwood Investors’ joint venture (JV) has been granted planning permission to develop 130,340 sq ft (12,100 m2) of Grade A last-mile urban logistics space at Trafford Park in Manchester.
Called Bridgewater Point, the scheme will be developed speculatively and will comprise 16 units ranging from 5,000 sq ft to 13,000 sq ft. Construction work is scheduled to start in January 2023.
Bridgewater Point is Chancerygate and Northwood Investors’ debut development since launching the JV last September. The JV plans to target speculative urban logistics development opportunities in key cities throughout the UK over the next 18 months.
Chancerygate development director and head of its Warrington office, Mike Walker, said: ‘This is an excellent first development for our JV with Northwood. It will showcase exactly the type of high specification, sustainable urban logistics accommodation we will deliver together.’
Agents for the proposed scheme are JLL and Davies Harrison.
