Wrexham 1M: Setting a new standard in advanced manufacturing and logistics in North Wales

FI Real Estate Management has officially launched Wrexham 1M, an upcoming state-of-the-art logistics site that will act as a major catalyst for the growth of advanced manufacturing in North Wales.

Last week, we hosted an exclusive launch event, bringing together agents and partners to spotlight Wrexham 1M, a landmark project that represents a major step forward in our longstanding commitment to Wrexham and the surrounding areas. The site will be a game-changer for industry, delivering a 1m sq ft of industrial and logistics warehouse to meet the needs of ambitious occupiers, both regionally and nationally.

Since establishing a presence in Wrexham in 2006, we’ve cultivated an impressive property portfolio on Wrexham Industrial Estate. With over 3.1 million sq ft already under management, our investment in the area has surpassed £136 million, demonstrating our real dedication to the region’s growth and economic resilience.

Wrexham Industrial Estate itself holds a prominent position as the second largest industrial estate in the UK, creating a business and logistics hub that accommodates over 340 businesses that collectively employ more than 10,000 people. These businesses include industry giants such as Kellogg’s and JCB, which benefit from the strategic advantages and modern warehouses that Wrexham offers.

A regional game-changer

Wrexham 1M is a landmark addition to our portfolio, expanding our industrial estate footprint in Wrexham to over 3.5m sq ft. This ambitious 1m sq ft B2/B8 logistics site is designed to serve as a catalyst for advanced manufacturing businesses seeking premium warehousing facilities in an ideal location. Set across 60 acres, Wrexham 1M is not only a physical expansion of our portfolio but represents our continued commitment to delivering warehouses equipped for the future. The site has been engineered to target an EPC A rating and BREEAM Excellent certification, highlighting our dedication to sustainability and operational efficiency.

As a bespoke design and build opportunity, Wrexham 1M is also a tailored solution for companies aiming to scale up or establish their presence in North Wales. Its strategic location, less than an hour from the M53 and M56 motorways, provides seamless connectivity to key transportation hubs, including Liverpool and Manchester airports, the Port of Liverpool, the Port of Holyhead, and Widnes Freight Terminal. This accessibility makes Wrexham 1M perfectly positioned for companies looking to leverage strong transport links for efficient storage and distribution across Wrexham, the UK and beyond.

Sustainable, state-of-the-art facilities

Wrexham 1M has been designed with sustainability and functionality at its core, incorporating a suite of modern features that meet the rigorous demands of today’s occupiers. With trailer parking, EV charging facilities, solar panel-ready roofs, level access doors, and cycle stores, the development aligns with our vision to create future-proof warehouses and high-quality industrial spaces.

The warehousing development also includes 50-metre yard depths to facilitate efficient logistical operations and incorporates over 30 acres dedicated to ecology and wellbeing areas, providing a green and sustainable environment that allows productivity and employee wellbeing to go hand in hand.

Infrastructure is also a critical feature of Wrexham 1M, with the site securing access to up to 5MW of power, an asset that enables advanced manufacturing businesses to operate efficiently and at scale. This commitment to providing robust power capabilities further emphasises our focus on meeting the specific needs of our tenants, ensuring they have the resources to thrive in an increasingly energy-dependent industry.

Driving long-term impact and economic growth at Wrexham Industrial Estate

This latest development is poised to have a substantial economic impact on the region, bolstering our going commitment to Wrexham’s growth. With 475,000 people living within a 30-minute drive of Wrexham Industrial Estate - and 12,000 of those employed in manufacturing and distribution - the development taps into a strong local workforce, enhancing the appeal for prospective occupiers.

Our investment in Wrexham is about more than building industrial units for rent; it is a commitment to community and economic resilience. By focusing on industrial space with high potential for regeneration, we’re transforming Wrexham Industrial Estate into a thriving business park and employment destination, supporting long-term economic growth and creating opportunities for local businesses and residents.

Revitalising the future of Wrexham

Wrexham 1M is not just another logistics warehouse; it is a testament to our forward-thinking approach and dedication to strategic investment. As our agents’ launch event concluded, we reinforced our vision for Wrexham 1M as a premier industrial property in North Wales and the UK, offering bespoke, sustainable solutions for businesses ready to grow in a well-connected, resource-rich environment.

With the successful launch of Wrexham 1M, we feel proud to be setting a new benchmark for industrial development in the region - blending sustainability, functionality, and long-term economic impact. For us, this project represents an exciting chapter for Wrexham Industrial Estate and the wider region – and it promises to drive continued investment and growth for years to come.
