LONDON, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Global integrated property group Goodman, has secured
detailed planning permission to develop three prime
warehouse units
at New Hythe Commercial Park in Aylesford, Kent.
The three units total 232,000 square feet and will be developed
within an established industrial and warehouse location, providing
access to a skilled labour force and convenient transport links.
New Hythe Commercial Park is located at junction 4 of the M20 with
good links to the Kent ports and the wider national motorway
network. Goodman has already secured existing outline planning
consent which allows the developer to build bespoke units sized to
suit prospective customers' needs.
Goodman is now marketing the prime units and will develop them
on a pre-let or pre-sale basis, depending on individual customer
requirements.
Charles Crossland, Managing
Director, Goodman UK Logistics said:
"The council's decision to grant detailed planning permission at
Aylesford marks another key stage
in Goodman's delivery of high quality space at New Hythe Commercial
Park. We are now in a position to develop premium buildings to suit
a range of occupiers and look forward to welcoming new customers to
this recognised logistics location."
Goodman has invested £105 million into its 800 acre UK land bank
to ensure that outline planning and infrastructure are in place and
the sites are ready for construction. This unique offering
dramatically reduces the time it takes to build fully operational
logistics centres, a key concern for logistics customers. Goodman
has 14 strategically located sites across the UK market, capable of
delivering over 14 million sq ft of logistics space. Four of
Goodman's UK sites can deliver facilities of over one million sq
ft, and eight are capable of delivering over 500,000 sq ft of
logistics space each.
CBRE and Altus Edwin Hill are
agents on the scheme.
