Glencar has been appointed by Firethorn Trust to deliver a 340,000 sq ft logistics/industrial unit, called Barnsley 340, at the Gateway 36 development in South Yorkshire
The 24-acre logistics site development, to be named Barnsley 340, will comprise 320,000 sq ft of Grade A logistics accommodation together with 20,000 sq ft of office space.
It will feature a best-in-class future-proofed specification, targeting the BREEAM “Excellent” rating, and delivered as net zero carbon in construction.
Glencar secures its third project from Firethorn Trust
Pete Goodman Glencar managing director Midlands and North said: “Glencar prides itself on solid partnerships and has built its business on the basis of long-term, mutually successful relationships with our customers.
“We are therefore delighted to receive our third project instruction to date from Firethorn following other recent appointments in Erith and Peterborough.
“As Firethorn continue to expand its portfolio of sites and presence in the logistics real estate sector around the U.K. we are ready, willing and able to support that growth and fully committed to a long-standing partnership.
‘Delivering a first-class outcome to the net zero in construction benchmark specification’
“We look forward to getting started on this project and delivering a first-class outcome to the net zero in construction benchmark specification which is rapidly becoming the new norm in the sector.”
Paul Martin, development director at Firethorn Trust said: “As the market continues to experience pent-up demand for modern logistics space, and the region benefits from ongoing inward investment, we are confident that the Firethorn specification will unlock the full potential of the site, bringing wider economic and employee benefits into the area.
“We are very happy to once again be partnering with Glencar having seen the excellent work and innovation they are undertaking for Firethorn elsewhere at our development sites in Erith and Peterborough.”
