GLP’s largest UK speculative development is up and ready

Main contractor Winvic Construction has completed a 70,699m² warehouse for GLP at Magna Park in Lutterworth.

Known as MPN 761, the steel-framed warehouse features six 30m-wide spans, has an 18m clear height to haunch and includes a three-storey office and two transport hubs.

Located within the Midlands’ ‘Golden Triangle’ next to the M1, M6 and M69 motorways, Magna Park is one of Europe’s premier logistics hubs, home to over 30 businesses and nearly 10,000 employees.

Completed in 41 weeks, the building was designed and constructed to high sustainability standards, achieving a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating and an EPC A+.

It is the second building at Magna Park to have achieved these credentials, and the fourth facility built for GLP to have reached this target.

Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Distribution and Logistics at Winvic, said: “The completion of MPN 761 marks a significant milestone for Winvic, not only as our first project with GLP but also as the scheme that took us beyond 100 million sq ft of industrial space constructed.

“Collaborating with GLP on their largest UK speculative development to date and their 50th building at Magna Park has been a privilege, and we’re proud to have been appointed due to our best-in-class industrial expertise.”

Caunton Engineering fabricated, supplied and installed 2,470t of steelwork for the project.
