E-tailer Buy It Direct snaps up East Midlands mega shed
The new facility will provide 90,000 extra pallet spaces for Buy It Direct’s appliances, bathroom products and furniture.
The cross-docked warehouse benefits from 76 dock and eight level access doors, 50m yards, and 18m clear height.
EMDC 525 accommodates a rainwater harvesting system and the roof has been designed to allow for the future installation of PV panels. These could provide all the power needed for the electric vehicle charging points in the car park.
Andy Preston, development manager at Panattoni, said: “This lease demonstrates the demand in the logistics market for quality space, along with reinforcing the strength of Panattoni’s speculative programme throughout the UK.
“Panattoni has recently started on site at Derby 515. At 514,193 sq ft this cross-docked warehouse is set to be one of the largest single-unit speculative developments under construction in the country, closely followed by the 512,850 sq ft development at Panattoni Wakefield 515.”
