Pochin’s secures £10.4m contract to build new Trafford Park units

Construction and property specialist Pochin’s Ltd has won a £10.4m contract to create a new 237,000 sq ft commercial scheme in the Trafford Point industrial park.

The deal will see Cheshire-headquartered Pochin’s build a 140,000 sq ft steel-framed industrial unit and another comprising 97,000 sq ft on the site.

Jonathan Pochin, the managing director of Pochin Construction, said: “We are delighted to be involved in a project of this scale.

“Pochin’s has a long-standing presence in Manchester and Trafford, and this development reflects our commitment to delivering high quality projects across the region.”

The development, which includes offices, external works, drainage and landscaping, is due for completion in August 2016 and will be managed by CBRE Asset Services.

Howard Hill, CBRE Asset Services’ associate director, commented: “The demand for commercial space in the Trafford area is abundant, and reflects the thriving local economy.

“We believe this site will provide in-demand warehouse and distribution facilities for prospective companies.”

He added: “Occupants will have the opportunity to benefit from the physical proximity to the community of businesses that Trafford Park is already home to, and the area’s fantastic transport links, making it a prime location for growth.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to collaborate with Pochin’s on this project, and look forward to seeing the new development up and running in the near future.”

Earlier this month, Pochin’s secured a contract to build The Rooftop Gardens, a residential development in the Castlefield district of Manchester.
