Winvic Construction Ltd has been appointed to construct two further industrial warehouses at East Midlands Distribution Centre (EMDC) following its recent appointment at Castlewood Business Park
The industrial site at Castle Donington is part of the deal between Clowes Developments and NFU Mutual. The transaction will oversee the development of six logistics facilities throughout the UK with a total value of more than £100 million.
Winvic has been appointed to construct two further industrial warehouses on the central plot of land, adjacent to one another. The facilities will be constructed directly opposite the one million sq ft M&S distribution centre which spans the length of a half mile long road.
EMDC190 is a 190,000 sq ft unit with over 10,000 sq ft of office space spanning over two floors, comprising a 15m haunch height, 18 loading bays and associated welfare facilities for staff. EMDC280, of the same 15m height, is 280,000 sq ft and has 17,000sq ft of two-storey office space and 26 loading bays. There will be a secure compound, parking spaces and electric charging points at each unit.
‘We have continually bought world class businesses to the development’
Winvic construction director, Ben Shearman, commented: “Having just announced our appointment by Clowes Developments for the construction of two warehouse units at Castlewood Business Park, this second ground-breaking ceremony within a matter of days illustrates how robust our long-term partnership is with the Clowes team. We’re delighted they have every confidence in us to deliver two further high-quality industrial spaces safely and quickly at the East Midlands Development Centre site in Derbyshire, and now it’s up to us to once again exceed expectations.”
Paul Shanley, consultant at Clowes Developments, added: “Since our ownership of EMDC began we have continually bought world class businesses to the development. Thousands of jobs have been generated on the former power station site and we endeavour to deliver further regeneration with the remaining plots at the site. The addition of two brand-new units for NFU Mutual – which will be delivered by long-term construction partner Winvic – will bring a new dimension to the site and we are confident the new occupiers will benefit from all that EMDC and its locality has to offer.”
