Lindab buys 65,000 sq ft spec shed

Construction product manufacturer Lindab has taken out a 15 year lease on a 65,000 sq ft speculative build unit at Ashburton Point, Trafford Park, Manchester.

The deal will see Lindab make the move from its current location in Central Park Trading Estate, which is also located on Trafford Park, as it consolidates the two smaller units it currently operates out of.

Kevin O’Connor, fund manager at DTZ Investors said: “this is the latest in a series of transactions for an in-house client to develop its presence on Trafford Park.

“Last month DTZI purchased the adjacent former Guardian Printworks site which comprises 6.88 acres for £7.45 million, with the intention of developing a unit of up to 150,000 sq ft to compliment the Ashburton Point offering”.

JLL and Savills are the retained letting agents on Ashburton Point.

Lindab was advised by RVW.
