CBRE Investment Management (CBRE) and Chancerygate have been granted planning to build 105,000ft² of urban logistics space on a site in Eccles, Greater Manchester.
Called Westside and located on Stadium Way, the scheme will comprise nine leasehold units ranging from 6,150ft² to 23,500ft².
The five-acre site is near the Salford Community Stadium and in close proximity to the M60, M62 and M6 motorways, offering easy access to Manchester, Liverpool and wider North West region.
All properties at Westside will feature electric vehicle charging points along with solar cells which provide green energy on an affordable basis to occupiers.
The scheme is also targeting a BREEAM accreditation of ‘Excellent’ and for all units to achieve an EPC ‘A’ rating as a minimum.
Chancerygate development manager, Andy Farrer, said: “Westside will deliver high quality accommodation which has strong sustainability credentials and excellent access to key road connections and major motorway networks.
“This site will help satisfy the pent-up demand from SME businesses across the Salford, Greater Manchester and the wider North West for high-specification units in a well-established location.
“Now that planning has been granted, we look forward to starting works on the site to deliver this much-needed industrial and logistics space and create a prime economic asset for the locality.”
