Steel progressing on Enfield logistics park

Proving once again that a steel framing solution is the quickest and most efficient method for the construction of warehouses, a project in Enfield, North London, which started onsite in February this year, is due to complete during the first quarter of 2027.

Fronting the A10 Great Cambridge Road, Progress Park is a prominent Grade A rated development that will offer industrial/logistics space for a diverse mix of occupiers.

Being built by BDB Design Build, working on behalf of Parkdale Investments, the project comprises two large steel portal-framed structures that can be subdivided into five individual warehouse units.

The scheme has been designed with a strong emphasis on sustainability and operational efficiency. Aiming to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A ratings, the two buildings will have rooftop solar panels, hybrid inverters and air source heat pumps, high power supplies (500kVA – 1.3MVA) as well as access to EV charging points.

Nationwide Structures is fabricating, supplying and erecting 400t of steelwork for the project.

BDB Design Build Contracts Manager James Foster, said: “We are proud to be working on behalf of Parkdale Investments for the construction of new logistics units, on a key site that sits in a prime location on the A10 corridor heading into north London.

“The scheme comprises large portal frame buildings, with upper mezzanine floors that can provide flexible spaces. The steelwork is a key element to this as the two portal frame designs allow the units to be subdivided to accommodate the market requirements.”
