“Goliath” 361,000 sq ft distribution unit completes in West Yorkshire

A ‘record-breaking’ 361,000 sq ft distribution unit has been completed at a West Yorkshire manufacturing park.

Urban regeneration specialist Muse Developments has announced the completion of the warehouse at its Logic Leeds development.

The unit was purchased last year by Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) in a multi-million pound deal and subsequently built by contractor Bowmer and Kirkland.

Occupiers at Logic Leeds already include household names such as John Lewis, Amazon and Premier Farnell, with the new unit’s global retailer tenant set to move in shortly.

James Scott, development director of Muse in Leeds, commented: “It’s a fantastic achievement for everyone involved in the scheme, as we deliver this goliath logistics and distribution centre to our global occupier on budget and on time, which is now ready for the tenant to fit out and occupy.

“Tribute must also be made to our partners at Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership, who share our vision, goal and drive to deliver a first-class industrial development that benefits the whole city region. It is this vision that has enabled us to attract the large number of high-profile organisations who want to be part of the successful Logic Leeds story.

“We’re setting the benchmark here for commercial property development, and coupled with an ever increasing West Yorkshire market, we’re writing yet another chapter in the successful Logic Leeds story.”
