Facility to become operational in early 2023
Work has begun on a new 482,000sqft warehouse for DHL Supply Chain at DP World London Gateway.
In a joint enterprise, DHL will construct a brand-new bespoke facility in London Gateway’s Logistics Park. Work to prepare the plot is underway and on completion, DHL will lease the facility from DP World London Gateway.
The 42m high bay warehouse will feature 36m of clear internal eaves height and boast an internal volume equivalent to 645 Olympic swimming pools. The facility will be completed to a BREEAM Outstanding rating and will be fully automated, ready for operation in early 2023.
Full planning permission for the new warehouse was received in just 24 days through London Gateway’s unique Local Development Order. When completed, the facility will be the largest single unit at London Gateway’s Logistics Park.
“DHL will benefit from the right location, the right infrastructure and the right technology to serve Greater London and the South East over the long term,” asserted Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director, DP World London Gateway.
“Our Logistics Park is the perfect choice for businesses like DHL looking to save time and instil a level of resilience within their supply chains,” remarked Jeremy Cracknell, Senior Property Development Manager, DP World London Gateway.
