Description

For Sale / To Let

Lancashire Central
Design to suit Logistics / Manufacturing Units
17,000 - 670,000 sq ft

Lancashire Central is one of the North West's key industrial manufacturing and logistics schemes. The development will provide best in class specification buildings within easy reach of the national motorway network.

From its location at the western terminus of the M65 the scheme offers immediate access to the M6/J29 and the M61/J9 which is just two minutes away, Lancashire Central is also within easy reach of a large labour pool; a workforce that has a long and involved history in manufacturing and all the elementary skills an occupier will need, as well as a high percentage of graduates.

The site is well served by public transport, will have outstanding amenities for occupiers and is being developed within the national policy framework for sustainable development. This will ensure it serves the needs of businesses while supporting the well-being of employees and the wider local community.

The buildings at Lancashire Central will be space efficient, energy efficient, future proofed and designed to support operational excellence. Consent has been granted for a wide range of unit sizes and can accommodate a cross-docked unit of up to 670,000 sq ft at the eastern limit of the site. All buildings will target a minimum BREEAM Very Good rating. They will be built with supertight envelopes to reduce air leakage and control temperatures, and 15% roof lighting to reduce the need for artificial lighting.

Future proofed specification which can be tailored to suit bespoke requirements:

Lancashire Central is well served by public transport, with bus and rail services allowing access from across the region. Lostock Hall Railway Station is only a 15 minute walk from the site. Trains to Manchester Airport run every hour from Preston Station.

The scheme plugs directly into the national motorway network with no need to navigate link roads or traverse across residential neighbourhoods. Instant access to the M65, which gives almost immediate access to the M6, then the M61 within minutes. The M65 and M61 connect Lancashire Central respectively to Blackburn, Burnley and Manchester. The M6 opens access to Scotland and the English Midlands. It's these linkages that make this scheme such an attractive location for regional and national distribution: It's Lancashire Central, North West Central, and UK Central.
