Panattoni, the industrial real estate developer, is planning to develop one of the largest speculative logistics facilities in South Yorkshire.
The development, called Panattoni Doncaster 420, will be a 417,570 sq ft facility at GatewayEast, Doncaster Sheffield Airport. Panattoni has acquired the 18.4-acre site, which has outline planning consent, from Peel Land and Property.
Panattoni expects to start construction later this year with the intention of delivering the facility in Summer 2023.
Panattoni Doncaster 420 is targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ ratings. Occupiers will also benefit from a range of standard sustainability features and green build options.
Dan Burn, development director at Panattoni, said: “This well-located site with direct access to local, regional and global markets is a superb addition to our speculative development programme.
“South Yorkshire is rapidly forging a reputation as one of the UK’s prime distribution locations. Record take up across Yorkshire in 2021 has resulted in the supply of units over 100,000 sq ft dipping to the lowest level ever seen.”
Burbage Realty acted for Panattoni.
