The buildings will target BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings, and will feature EV charging facilities, solar panel-ready roofing, syphonic drainage and cycle storage.
GMI Construction has been appointed main contractor, with works on site commencing this month and completion scheduled in Q2 2025.
The scheme forms a part of the wider distribution site, known as Fradley Park, which comprises 300 acres of distribution, warehousing and manufacturing facilities, with local occupiers including DHL, Screwfix, Tesco and Yodel.
Richard Bean, portfolio director at Evans Property Group, said: “Phase one will offer up high-quality, sustainable logistics accommodation fronting the A38, with easy access to the M6 toll and M42 motorway network.”
Avison Young and JLL were appointed as agents on the scheme.
Richard James-Moore, director at JLL, said: “Fradley Park’s setting in the heart of the country makes it an obvious choice for businesses that need to utilise the Midlands’ transport links to provide their services nationally.”
David Willmer, principal industrial, sales and leasing at Avison Young, added: “Prominently situated at the entrance to this park, we anticipate strong interest from both regional and national occupiers recognising the strategic location and class leading specification of the units.”
