Gazeley to develop Doncaster warehouse

Gazeley will speculatively develop a 278,000 sq ft warehouse at its G Park Doncaster scheme, which it expects to open in spring 2019. The building will target leading logistics, distribution and e-commerce companies. It will feature a 50-metre service yard, 38 dock doors and four level access doors. G Park Doncaster is located adjacent to West Moor Park, an established distribution location on Junction 4 of the M18. Doncaster hosts brands including Ikea, Next, Amazon, Lidl and DHL. James Atkinson, development manager at Gazeley, said: “The case for locating in Doncaster is clear and compelling. “The area offers a large workforce of logistics and transport sector specialists and is already host to industry leading brands. “Its proximity to the M18, M1, A1 and wider motorway network will give our customers unrivalled access to the UK’s largest markets. “This development will further strengthen our position in the UK as we continue to grow our business.” Gazeley, which is GLP’s European platform, has a 17m sq ft portfolio in logistics markets across the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
