Expansion set for Ilkeston warehouse development

Specialist warehouse contractor Glencar has been reappointed by Verdant Regeneration to develop two further units, totalling 2,900m², at its 200-acre industrial/warehouse site at Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

The appointment follows the completion of Unit 1, a new 1,895m² regional hub constructed for DX Group.

Designed by Stephen George Partnerships, construction of the two units has started and is expected to take 34 weeks to build with completion expected in spring 2025.

Pete Goodman, Glencar Managing Director – UK Midlands, North and Ireland, said: “Repeat business is the best business and after a successful negotiation we are once again delighted to be back onsite at New Stanton Park so soon after completing DX’s impressive new regional sortation Hub.

“This development is strategically located in the Midlands adjacent to the M1 – ideally situated for the road and rail networks of the UK. It is therefore unsurprising that the development has already received major interest from numerous international, national and regional occupiers.”

David Ward of Verdant Regeneration, said: “We are delighted to reappoint Glencar for the construction of the next units on New Stanton Park, which offers an excellent location, blending an active rail connection with strong private and public transport connectivity.”
