Works starts on major Gloucester distribution park

St. Modwen and Winvic Construction have started work on the first phase of an 83,500m² industrial and logistics development in Gloucester.

St. Modwen Park Gloucester is adjacent to junction 12 of the M5 motorway and the first phase consists of three units totalling 16,100m². These are expected to complete in December 2019, with the potential to support approximately 230 jobs when occupied.

Pete Davies, Development Director for St. Modwen West and Wales said: “We are delighted that work at St. Modwen Park Gloucester is now underway, and the ground-breaking ceremony marks the first milestone in the successful regeneration of the site.

“High demand for premium and logistics space with excellent links to the M5 motorway is the driving force behind this building programme, which will allow us to bring significant jobs and inward investment to Gloucestershire.”

Ben Shearman, Operations Manager for Winvic said: “We are thrilled be working with St Modwen again and we are looking forward to delivering the first three units at St Modwen Park Gloucester at the end of the year. Winvic takes pride in its record of project delivery to industry leading standards and will ensure we deliver a first-class scheme.”

St. Modwen Park Gloucester is one of three St. Modwen sites in Gloucestershire alongside the £22M Gateway 12 Business Park and £150M mixed-use scheme at Littlecombe in Dursley.
