Plans revealed for Birmingham distribution hub

IM Properties (IMP) is set to build its third and final phase of speculative development at the Hub, Birmingham where it will develop three units totaling 14,100m².

Local contractor Benniman is partnering with IMP’s in-house project delivery team to build a 9,200m² warehouse, alongside two smaller units.

The Hub, which is just three miles from the city centre, has been a real success story for IMP, making its mark as home to the new Wholesale Markets, built by IMP for Birmingham City Council and the location of the first electricity cost neutral logistics building in the UK, let to Argos on-line.

The final phase of the 90-acre site, will mean IMP has delivered close to 83,000m² of Grade A space designed for logistics, distribution and manufacturing occupiers including Iron Mountain, TIMET and TNT.

Richard Lawrence, IMP’s Development Director said: “We acquired this site in June 2013 and have benefited from it being a first-class employment site, close to the city centre, ideal for last mile delivery, but also as a prestigious location for companies to be located and expand their operations.

IMP is one of the largest privately owned property companies in the UK, rooted mainly in the Midlands, with an investment and development portfolio of £900M across the UK, Europe and the USA.
