Move in response to surging demand
DP World in the UK recently announced that London Gateway’s Logistics Park will fast-track the delivery of a speculative 146,000sqft. green warehouse facility before the end of 2021 to meet the rapidly growing demand for premium warehousing space in the South East of England.
DP World, the leading global provider of smart logistics, has commissioned the new LG146 facility to create the space needed by businesses who want to take advantage of the logistics park being adjacent to London Gateway’s deep-water port and outstanding road and rail connections to the capital, Europe’s largest consumer market. Increasingly, retailers are expanding their operations at London Gateway to satisfy surging demand for online goods.
“We are using the latest sustainable technologies at the new facilities to drive down both the use of raw materials and carbon emissions to the minimum possible levels,” commented Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director, DP World, UK.
London Gateway has almost 10mn sq ft of land with planning consent. Tapping into the rapidly expanding demand for warehousing to support e-commerce, DP World can work with customers on their building requirements of up to 1.2mn sqft and deliver bespoke solutions via a unique 28 day planning agreement with the local council.
The new facility will be completed and ready for occupation in December 2021.
