We have been granted planning permission to build 74,000 sq ft of new industrial space at Deeside Industrial Estate, bringing our total North Wales property portfolio to over 3m sq ft.
Located just off Tenth Avenue in Deeside Industrial Park, our new Grade A industrial development will provide high quality accommodation in response to the growing level of business interest at this location. This development forms part of our wider 6.5 million sq. ft industrial new build portfolio that will deliver units across the UK.
Building work will start in 2024 and will be undertaken by our construction division, FI Construction, which will engage local supply chain partners and support local employment through our wider North Wales community impact plan.
Our investment in Deeside continues to show our commitment to enhance the provision of employment space to maximise economic potential in North Wales and its connections with the North West’s key cities.
The new BREEAM ‘Very Good’ development will add to our existing portfolio as the largest industrial land owner in North Wales. To date this has included 2.8m sq ft of space at Wrexham Industrial Estate and the 62.8-acre Kingmoor regeneration site, for which planning was recently validated.
Tim Knowles, founder and Managing Director of FI Real Estate Management commented: “What businesses need is a fresh supply of high quality and flexible space that enables them to achieve their ambitions, whether that is growth, relocating to more sustainable premises or making the most of North Wales’ connectivity. We have a very simple but effective strategy in North Wales; our commitment is to regenerate land to unlock opportunity, create jobs and stimulate productivity, and we look forward to extending this success for businesses in Deeside.”
