Logicor, an owner and manager of logistics real estate in Europe, has secured a long lease with retailer, Marks & Spencer (M&S) at DIRFT 224, Daventry.
It follows the refurbishment of the c.224,000 sq ft cold store distribution facility located at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT).
Anthony McCluskie, Logicor’s director, Asset Management, UK, says: “It’s great to work with M&S again to provide this refurbished modern chilled storage for our valued existing customer. The site has undergone a full refurbishment which was delivered on time, ready for M&S to occupy ahead of their Christmas peak. M&S will join a number of blue-chip occupiers at this prime distribution park.”
JLL and Cushman & Wakefield advised Logicor.
Alongside extending the relationship with M&S, an extensive refurbishment programme has begun on three detached warehouses within a large secure site, known as CAMPUS 450, at DIRFT which will enhance the sustainability of the current assets.
As part of the work to improve the sustainability of assets across the Logicor portfolio, EV charging points, new LED lighting, and air source heating will all contribute to lowering the carbon emissions and will be targeting BREEAM Very Good.
