Construction News Image
Firethorn Trust has started work on Ascent Logistics Park, a 25.5-acre industrial development in Leighton Buzzard.

The net-zero scheme is designed to attract a diverse range of occupiers, provide a boost to the local jobs market and bring economic benefits to the wider region. Ascent Logistics Park will offer Grade A logistics accommodation across eight highly-specified units, ranging from 14,140 – 123,490 sq. ft.

The first phase of development is being delivered by Winvic Construction Ltd. Accredited by the UK Green Building Council for its net-zero carbon construction, the scheme’s design features LED lighting to offices, electric vehicle charging points and solar power generation, in addition to generous outdoor spaces and modern welfare facilities, which look to promote a healthy working lifestyle.

"Ascent is an ambitious development, designed for the future with sustainability and employee wellbeing in mind. The scheme’s proximity to the newly established Link Road will provide enhanced connectivity across the country's growing industrial market, while providing occupiers with a sustainable infrastructure that will support their immediate operational needs as well as future market requirements."
