Morris Property has commenced work on a £9m project for Telford and Wrekin Council to develop 24 new units at Plot 12, Hortonwood.
The scheme will create around 5,858m² of state-of-the-art facilities for start-ups, small businesses and larger firms looking to grow in Telford.
The site was acquired through the Telford Land Deal and is expected to be completed in summer 2023. The Telford Land Deal is a partnership between Telford & Wrekin Council, Homes England and the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Under the Deal, the council has responsibility to bring forward sites, de-risk them and provide 'shovel ready' sites available to develop for both residential and employment uses.
The council identified a gap in the local market for small industrial units unfulfilled by the private development market.
It has purchased the Telford site from Homes England and will build and manage the brand-new units through its property investment portfolio
As part of this public service contract, the social value commitment includes time volunteered to local charities, engagement with schools and colleges for career presentations and work placement opportunities as well as a direct apprenticeship role with Morris Property to support the project.
Steve Flavell, Construction Manager, said: "We are proud to have already delivered ten commercial builds at this popular industrial park for both Telford & Wrekin Council and private clients.
"As well as creating a high-quality space for businesses to occupy in Telford, we are excited to incorporate enviable green credentials in this build, with electric vehicle charging points and PV solar panels, alongside specialist tree planting and other ecological enhancements."
