Speaking about the instruction, John Sambrooks, partner, Gerald Eve, commented: “Aston represents a prime destination for businesses and we are pleased to be working with Northwood Urban Logistics to attract occupiers to the scheme. The flexibility in terms of size, together with the scheme’s strong green credentials, will undoubtedly meet the market demand we are seeing.”

 “The area has undergone significant investment in recent years attracting occupiers such as Hydraforce, Salst Healthcare and Guhring and the site’s position close to the city centre and J6 M6 makes it a strong location for last-mile delivery as well as being outside the city’s new Clean Air Zone.”

 Mark Evans, Director at Northwood commented: We are very pleased to have added Urban Express Park to our logistics platform and are excited to see the development progress over the coming months leading to completion in Q1 2022. We are confident the high specification and green credentials of the scheme will be well received by the modern occupier where ESG is becoming ever more important when considering committing to new commercial premises.” 

The units range in size from 3,370 – 9,585 sq ft and are available on a leasehold basis.
