MEPC owns a number of plots within Hillington Park which either already have planning consent for Class 5 and 6 (Industrial and Warehousing) uses or are zoned as suitable for such. The sites are generally already serviced with most having frontage onto adopted roads and all offering close connections to drainage, power, gas and broadband telecommunications infrastructure.

MEPC always ensures its new development schemes offer high quality space for occupiers which afford both flexibility and efficiency of use. The benefit to an occupier in choosing a pre-let/design and build rout is to offer input at design stage so that the building meets its exact requirements in layout, design and finishes.

Typical key criteria for industrial/warehouse customers include: warehouse dimensions, yard size, capacity of electricity and gas supplies and extent of office accommodation.

Whilst the lead-in time for a customer from initial search to physical occupation will be inevitably longer than one which is purely focused on existing buildings, the key driver for a pre-let/design and build is that the building can be designed from scratch to house your business.
