Delivered six weeks ahead of original programme, phase one of ARK comprises of four detached units ranging in size between 17,050 and 35,950 sq ft.
Totalling 107,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space at the popular Markham Vale, the scheme boasts sustainability credentials including BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings to ensure all occupiers meet increasingly stringent ESG expectations and reduce their costs.
Positioned in a great location next to the M1, each unit features flexible ground floor space with 8 metres clear internal height, a first floor with kitchenette, a high-quality service yard up to 52 metres depth and parking provisions - with EV chargers.
The project was delivered on behalf of Origin, a joint venture partnership between HBD (Part of Henry Boot) and Feldberg Capital.
We’re proud to mark the successful completion of these four units at ARK, Markham Vale. Delivering the high-quality, sustainable buildings 6 weeks ahead of programme is a fantastic achievement by everyone involved, and this scheme is a great example of our expertise in the industrial and logistics sector. Delivering projects that combine quality, sustainability and long-term value is at the heart of our offer, and ARK not only strengthens Markham Vale but also creates opportunities that will drive innovation and benefit the local economy.
Lee Powell, Managing DirectorARK was one of the first Origin schemes on site so it’s great to see phase one now complete. Markham Vale is a proven I&L location, providing occupiers with excellent transport links and sustainable infrastructure plus a strong local labour supply. While supply has increased within the region, there remains a shortage of good quality stock in prime locations like the M1 corridor; particularly for best-in-class, ESG compliant space which remains a rarity in I&L.
Vivienne Clements, Executive Director, HBDThe completion of the first phase of ARK marks an important milestone in Origin’s long-term strategy to build a high-quality, scalable portfolio in the mid box I&L sector. This segment continues to show strong occupational demand and resilience and we see significant opportunity to create value through well-located, sustainable developments. The scheme sets a strong precedent for what we aim to achieve and it’s fantastic to see phase one completed to budget and ahead of schedule.
