Ergo pushes on with Doncaster spec shed

Ergo in its Aver Property partnership with NFU Mutual and Waystone Hargreaves Land, the joint venture company behind the Unity development project in Yorkshire, has started construction on a 191,000ft² speculative warehouse to be known as Doncaster 191.

Caddick Construction has been appointed as main contractor, following a competitive tender process.

The unit will occupy a 10-acre plot within Unity Connect, one of the dedicated employment areas of the scheme, which is strategically located immediately adjacent to Junction 5 of the M18 motorway. The property will be available from Q4 2023.

Unity Connect has outline planning permission for industrial and logistics space and forms part of a wider planning permission for 2 million ft² of commercial space and 3,100 homes across the Unity development site.

Andrew Johnson, Director at Waystone Hargreaves said: “There is a high level of demand for new, high-quality distribution space within the South Yorkshire market, so we are delighted to be starting 2023 on such a positive note.

“Despite the wider economic outlook, the occupational industrial market is showing continued robustness and we are finding that Unity’s proximity to the M18 is proving to be a major draw for occupiers.”
