Prologis UK is advancing its Croydon development by constructing additional units at Prologis Park Beddington, facilitated by Winvic Construction. The endeavour involves four new warehouses, varying in size from 15,000 to 46,000 square feet, indicating a significant enhancement of the park’s capabilities. Steelwork marks the next phase of development, as the project moves towards its 2025 completion deadline.
Winvic’s approach to the construction is described as groundbreaking by Danny Nelson, the industrial managing director, due to the innovative design features incorporated into the mezzanines. These mezzanine floors, included in two of the units, provide additional space that can be configured for various purposes such as extra office areas, storage, or assembly operations. This exemplifies the adaptability and forward-thinking design strategies being implemented.
The strategic location of Prologis Park Beddington enhances its appeal to last mile logistics operators, who benefit from the park’s proximity to London and the accessibility to a sizeable workforce in south London. Simon Perks, a director at Prologis UK, lauds the development for setting new standards in the flexibility and design of logistics spaces. He highlights the diversity of unit sizes as a key advantage for various operational needs.
Moreover, sustainability remains a pivotal element of the project’s design and construction phases. Prologis UK has ensured that environmental considerations are integrated throughout the development process, reflecting contemporary standards and expectations. The positive reception from potential customers further underscores the project’s success in aligning with market demands.
The expansion of Prologis Park Beddington marks a significant step forward in reshaping logistics space design and sustainability standards.
