Logistics boost for Hertfordshire as South Mimms X gets underway 

Pension manager Railpen, working in collaboration with developer Wrenbridge, has started construction of an 11,410m² logistics and industrial unit at the South Mimms X distribution park in Hertfordshire. 

Positioned just 14.5 miles from London, the unit is designed for a wide range of operators and will include 13 dock loading doors, two level access doors as well as incorporating a 68m secure gated yard. 

Sustainability is said to be embedded throughout the design, which is targeting net-zero carbon, as well as BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC A+ ratings. 

Alastair Dawson, UK Industrial Sector Lead at Railpen, said: “South Mimms X reflects Railpen’s ongoing commitment to producing best-in-class developments that support local economies and enhance surrounding communities. 

“This site is exceptionally well located on the M25, with good access to London.” 

Will Jarman, Associate Director at Wrenbridge, added: “Railpen’s X portfolio is becoming a clear example in the industrial and logistics sector of how a landlord can demonstrate ongoing commitment to producing warehouses that are beyond expectations.”
