Glencar in gear to revamp ex-LDV Birmingham site

A construction firm has secured a contract to drive forward delivery of a “key” business hub on former van factory land.

Glencar will build warehouses at Birmingham’s Catalyst Industrial Park.

Bosses say the company will erect four units – ranging from 22,500sq ft to 64,250sq ft – on the site, which was formerly home to an LDV commercial vehicle plant.

Glencar, which has offices in Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge, has been appointed by Aviva Investors to deliver the scheme.

The work adds to an existing partnership between the operators, with Glencar working on a 60,000sq ft life sciences hub at Chesterford Research Park, near Cambridge.

Pete Goodman, Glencar managing director for Midlands and North, said: “We are delighted to receive this further instruction from Aviva Investors for this key location in Birmingham.

“Logistics and industrial projects are at the heart of what we do, and we look forward to working with Aviva Investors and the full project team to deliver this outstanding scheme.”

James Stevens, Aviva Investors’ head of real estate investment, added: “We are pleased to partner with Glencar at Catalyst Industrial Park, which is an exciting new development project.

“Building on our existing relationship at Chesterford Research Park, we look forward to delivering four exceptional facilities that we expect will be highly attractive to firms.”

Glencar has additional offices in Didcot, St Albans, Dublin and Kerry.
