Business Space/Distribution
We are committed to delivering high quality business space and distribution schemes which contribute towards the regeneration of the area, providing a boost to the local economy and creating jobs. We develop a variety of types and sizes of business and distribution space from schemes providing 5,000sq.ft. units up to 350,000sq.ft. distribution units. A selection of our current and completed schemes are shown below.
Middlewich - Midpoint 18
Midpoint 18, a
key business and distribution park, is located two miles west of
the M6, junction 18 at the edge of Middlewich. The M6 corridor
gives Midpoint 18 the potential to serve Cheshire, Merseyside,
Greater Manchester and the Potteries within a one hour drive
time.
Midpoint 18 comprises approximately 450 acres, and development is being delivered over three phases. Phase One is now complete (highlighted purple). Phase Two is being developed (highlighted orange) and Phase Three is future development (highlighted blue).
The built phase of Midpoint 18 provides over 128,130 m2 (1,379,189 sq.ft.) of mixed employment use ranging from 500 sq.ft. workspace units up to the 369,560 sq.ft. Tesco distribution warehouse.
Between 2,000-2,500 jobs have been created by the scheme so far. An investment value approaching £100m has been created.
A planning application has been submitted for the Phase Three development and completion of the Middlewich Eastern Bypass.
The three phases
of the development are shown on the Overall Development Plan. Phase
One provides a wide range of employment space. Phase Two is ever
changing. In 2005 we completed Verity Court, a 10,000 sq.ft. office
development. In 2006, Valley Court - a 45,000sq.ft. industrial
development - was completed. In 2007, Unit 75 - a 350,000sq.ft.

Middlewich Eastern Bypass and deliver Midpoint 18 is in hand.
