Airport City plans revealed
ICON Industrial has revealed plans to build a new industrial unit at its £100m Manchester Airport site.
The proposed 102,500sqft development will include a single 95,000sqft industrial building and 7,500sqft of integrated office accommodation, with 141 car parking spaces.
Icon Industrial, a strategic joint venture by Stoford Developments and TPG Real Estate, has submitted a reserved matters planning application to Manchester council for the building.
It is the third development to be announced at the rapidly growing global logistics area of Airport City, with Icon Industrial also set to deliver The Hut Group’s new logistics and global content creation studio, housing up to 2,000 people.
Dan Gallagher, joint managing director of Stoford Developments, said: “Due to the level of recent occupational demand, we have submitted a planning application for unit four of Icon Manchester Airport. This project is the third exciting development on the scheme and offers the opportunity to continue the fulfilment of the Airport City masterplan, expanding and enhancing the logistical facilities on site.
“The remaining land presents potential occupiers with an excellent opportunity to have a unit built to their specific requirements in a key strategic location with unrivalled airport connectivity, so we are expecting considerable interest from potential occupiers.”
Launched last year, Icon Manchester Airport is a 45-acre build to suit logistics/warehouse development, with outline planning consent for circa 1 million sq ft.
The remaining fully serviced site can deliver units from 135,000sqft to 434,000sqft on a design and build basis.
Existing occupiers include Amazon and DHL, with on site amenities including a BP Petrol Filling Station, Costa Coffee and M&S Simply Food due to open before Christmas.
