The 2,579 square-metre building will occupy a 1.2 acre plot along Blackthorne Road on the Poyle Trading Estate, across from Heathrow Terminal 5 and close to Junction 14 of the M25 motorway.
Located alongside AIPUT’s (Airport Industrial Property Unit Trust) Blackthorne Point Estate, it will be a standalone facility with its own dedicated access, parking and service yard facilities.
The building aims to be carbon neutral and is expected to achieve BREEAM Excellent accreditation and a minimum of EPC A.
Solar PV panels will be installed, together with electric vehicle charging points and rainwater harvesting, and recycled materials will be used wherever possible in the construction.
Fraser Green, Asset Manager for abrdn says: “This welcome addition to AIPUT’s Heathrow portfolio marks the latest phase in our accelerated investment strategy to deliver exceptional warehouse space that is efficient, sustainable and offers great value for money.
“At a time of historic low vacancy levels set against a growing and more demanding occupier base, we expect to secure a pre-let for our building early in the New Year.”
