The construction of Wrenbridge’s extensive industrial park in Luton is actively progressing.
- A significant milestone was reached with a steel signing ceremony at Junction logistics park.
- The project encompasses a wide range of construction activities, including extensive earthwork and infrastructure development.
- Completion is anticipated by February 2025, marking a 63-week construction duration.
- Glencar continues to strengthen its partnership with Wrenbridge through this major project.
In the bustling town of Luton, construction on Wrenbridge’s ambitious 600,000 sq ft Junction logistics development is well underway. The project recently celebrated a steel signing ceremony, marking a pivotal step towards the realisation of the industrial park. Covering a 4.46 hectare site, the development is being meticulously crafted to incorporate a blend of significant earthworks and innovative design.
The primary contractor is spearheading an intricate design and construction process that involves comprehensive remodelling of the site. A highlight of the £31.5 million project is the creation of Unit 1, which will stand as a 213,874 sq ft gateway industrial and logistics unit. Featuring an impressive clear height of 18 metres to the underside of the haunch, this structure is designed to facilitate diverse logistical needs.
Glencar, entrusted with the project execution, is tasked with delivering a Cat A office fit-out along with new retaining structures and underground services. The development’s strategic location necessitates new utility connections and highway enhancements, planned to provide access from the proximate M1 motorway and New Airport Way. The structural steel is steadily being erected, progressing towards an expected practical completion in mid-February 2025.
This project marks the fifth collaboration between Glencar and Wrenbridge, underscoring a robust partnership. Glencar’s regional managing director, Pete Goodman, remarked on the collaborative success they’ve achieved over the years and expressed optimism for the project’s outcome, citing their concurrent work in Basingstoke as a testament to this successful partnership.
With the completion timeline set to stretch over a span of 63 weeks, a myriad of construction activities are meticulously planned, including external landscaping works. Each facet of the development is aligned to support the overall architectural vision while enhancing logistical efficiencies. The comprehensive scope of work reflects a forward-thinking approach towards industrial and logistical facility design.
The ongoing development at Junction logistics park in Luton underlines the strategic collaboration between Glencar and Wrenbridge, shaping a substantial industrial footprint.
