Winvic Construction has been appointed by IM Properties to commence construction work at the 1.1 million sq ft Towcester Park.

The project is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A. The site will also include 15 acres of green space, amenity land and retained and enhanced landscaping.

To retain larger operators in the region or attract businesses looking to relocate, Towcester Park already has reserved matters for warehouse space of up to 470,000 sq ft. Buildings will feature HQ style office space, roof terraces on outboard offices, contemporary reception areas and high-quality, modern working environments.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities will help promote green travel, and the scheme overall will aim for Net Zero Ready status, to help occupiers transition to Net Zero in their own operations.

Commenting on starting the initial phase of the 1.1 million sq ft development, Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Distribution & Logistics at Winvic, said: “We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with IM Properties and work together to deliver the first stages of this high-quality employment space with industry-leading sustainability credentials.”

Expected to create 1,500 jobs when fully occupied, Towcester Park will provide skills and training opportunities for local people and fund projects through a dedicated £100,000 community fund.
