ORE 70 Hortonwood West, Telford, Speculative Industrial Scheme – start on site

Trebor Developments, with partner Hillwood, has appointed Morris Property as main contractor to construct its speculative industrial unit in Telford. The land has been acquired through the Telford Land Deal, a joint collaboration between Telford and Wrekin Council, Homes England and the Marches LEP. Bulleys Bradbury were the selling agent.

The largest speculative industrial unit in the Telford area to be developed for over 10 years, the accommodation extends to 70,540 sq ft (6,553 m2) in a single building and is available on competitive lease terms, 25% less than prime Birmingham rents.

Morris Property started on site in January and the building will be ready for occupation in summer 2020.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner for Trebor commented, "We look forward to working with Morris Property on this exciting project to bring quality, larger, industrial accommodation to Telford. This is the last plot at Telford and Wrekin Council’s Hortonwood West site, which has attracted a wide range of occupiers over the last 3 years to become one of the best industrial parks in Telford. We expect strong interest in this quality new unit, which is offered on competitive terms."

Councillor David Wright, Telford & Wrekin Council’s cabinet lead for the Land Deal, said "I am delighted that this last plot at Hortonwood West is now underway – this is yet another success story for the Telford Land Deal.

"Hortonwood West has also benefited from investment by the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership which has funded infrastructure improvements on the site."

Bulleys Bradbury directors Rod Spiby and Richard Bradbury were delighted to be re-instructed to market this high profile unit and are already in discussion with potential occupiers. Trebor/Hillwood are represented by Bulleys Bradbury (Telford/Wolverhampton offices) and Lambert Smith Hampton (Birmingham). .
