December completion inked in for Greenbox Darlington

Contractor Winvic is delivering the three-unit 402,000 sq ft development for Partners Group and logistics specialist Citivale, on a site off the A66.

Savills and HTA Real Estate are agents on the scheme, to which a site visit for other agents throughout the region has been held.

The ESG-led Greenbox Darlington comprises three units, the largest at slightly more than 200,000 sq ft, with the whole scheme spanning 24 acres.

Dlievered under the Greenbox brand, the units offer 50m yard depths and 3.5MVA power capacity, along with supporting office space.

Greenbox Darlington will target an EPC A and BREEAM Excellent rating, and will also aim to achieve units that are Net Carbon Zero in Operation.

The roofs will be 100% photovoltaic panel-ready, while 10% of parking spaces will be for electric cars, with future-proofing in place for all spaces.

Bespoke units, built to individual occupiers’ specific requirements, can also be accommodated on-site.

Greenbox Darlington is located close to the A66, close to three junctions on the A1(M). Key occupiers in the local industrial sector include British Steel, Cummins Engines, and Magnet Kitchens parent Nobia, with e-commerce giant Amazon also situated adjacent to the site.

Alex Reynolds, Citivale development director said: “We are thrilled to have launched Greenbox Darlington and be progressing with the build so well. This strategic and visible location is perfect for nationwide distribution as well as last-mile delivery.

“We’re providing top-tier, sustainable space in a market that desperately needs it. Partnering with Winvic for construction and Savills and HTA Real Estate for leasing ensures we’re set up for success.”

Acquired from Premcor post-planning in late 2023, Greenbox Darlington follows on from the platform’s debut acquisition Greenbox Thirsk, a development in North Yorkshire  totalling 825,000 sq ft.
