MA6NITUDE warehouses reach practical completion

Two warehouses totalling 200,000ft2 have reached practical completion at MA6NITUDE Land’s MA6NITUDE scheme in Cheshire.

The flagship logistics scheme is a joint venture between Tritax Symmetry and NPL.

Unit 11 comprises a 149,000ft2 multi dock unit, while Unit 12 consists of 41,00ft2. Both buildings have been built to net zero carbon in construction and are located just three minutes west of Junction 18 of the M6 motorway close to Middlewich.

In May, this year, planning permission was secured for the next phase of development at the site, offering units of between 200,000ft2 and 238,000ft2, depending on configuration, together with consent for further accommodation of up to a total of 2.2 million ft2.

Along with Units 11 and 12, phase four at MA6NITUDE also includes a 156,000ft2 unit for Swizzels Matlow, which is due for completion this year. The renowned North West confectionery brand will have the capacity to expand to a total of 458,000ft2 in future phases.

Matt Pochin, Director at Legat Owen, joint agents for MA6NITUDE with B8 Real Estate and Savills, said: “The last few years have seen constantly rocketing demand for logistics space, and the developers should be applauded for speculatively building these units.

“Now available to occupy, these buildings provide the space that growing North West companies and incoming inward investors alike need to support the region’s ongoing growth.”
