Construction starts on new Eddie Stobart facilities at DIRFT
Work is underway on the construction of Eddie Stobart’s new, two-unit campus at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (Prologis RFI DIRFT.
On completion, the new facilities, totalling 538,00ft2 will allow the company to further expand its road and rail operations. Eddie Stobart has operated out of its existing facilities at DIRFT since 1997, and the plan is to vacate these properties on completion of the new units.
The new facilities will benefit from a shared loading yard, which can be divided if needed. With a clear internal height of 18m, the buildings will also feature level access points, allowing for the loading and unloading of curtain-sided HGVs.
Prologis was advised at DIRFT by Savills and JLL, and Eddie Stobart was advised by Roebuck Asset Management. The project is due to be completed in Q3 2022.
