Glencar has won a contract to construct grade A industrial and distribution space in a range of units from 5,000 to 85,000 sq ft at a site in Croydon.

The development, which is being marketed as Segro Park Croydon, is situated on a seven-acre site at Redhouse Road, just off the A236 and well connected to London via the M25.

The site serves as a well-established strategic location for trade counter, light industrial and warehousing. Units are expected to complete and be ready for occupation in early 2023.

In keeping with the developer’s sustainability commitments, the site is being developed to Grade EPC A specification, incorporating a variety of sustainability features including photovoltaic panels, intelligent low energy lighting and EV charging points.
