G. PARK SITTINGBOURNE, UK
920,000 SQ FT. (85,470 SQ M.)
KEY BENEFITS
- Cutting edge environmental technologies are included such as revolutionary new kinetic plates, rain water harvesting and recycling, energy efficient lighting, low water use appliances and FSC approved timber
- Massive operational cost savings for Morrisons over the lifetime of the building, whilst proving that environmental steps can impact positively on a company’s bottom line.
- The deal is thought to be the South East’s biggest ever pre-let and will deliver a large-scale warehouse complex split across two units at the site. The new development will be used by Morrisons to service and supply its South East stores and will provide up to 1,000 new jobs for local people.
G. Park Sittingbourne, located close to the M2 in Kent, is part of a Joint Venture between Gazeley and Standard Life Investment Funds Limited. The two companies have already secured
outline planning permission for 1.8 million sq ft of warehouse and distribution space at the site in Kent, but the development for Morrisons will be the first unit to begin
construction at the park.
“We selected this site primarily because of its strategic location and close links to the South East motorway network but also because of the unbeatable environmental credentials which
Gazeley has been able to offer. The environmental agenda and CSR are key considerations for our business going forward and this was an important factor in our decision to choose this site
to develop our next warehouse and distribution centre. This major new facility will enable us to better service our growing business. As one of the UK’s top four supermarket chains it is
important that we continually develop our infrastructure to enable us to continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers."
James Brook, Development Surveyor at Morrisons.
