Benniman to build final phase at former MG car plant

Developer Indurent has appointed Benniman as main contractor for the final phase of works for the Longbridge West project in Birmingham.

The former MG Rover car manufacturing plant is being transformed into a new 35,300m² industrial and logistics park, which will act as a catalyst for regional economic growth.

Benniman will construct 13 steel-framed buildings, ranging in size from 1,095m² to 10,614m², suitable for a variety of uses including advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution.

The energy-efficient units are designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A and A+ ratings. The development will also be integrated with the River Rea valley walking and cycling routes, strengthening sustainable transport links in the area.

Benniman Director Paul Barfoot said: “We are delighted to be delivering the final phase of Indurent Park Longbridge West. Having built a strong working relationship with Indurent across multiple developments we are looking forward to completing another high-quality scheme that will serve the region for years to come.”
