Glencar has completed work on a Mid-Box scheme for Vengrove in Birmingham.

The project involved the construction of one unit subdivided by a 1 hour firewall to create two lettable spaces of 42,000 and 58,000 sq. ft at Erdington Industrial Park in Birmingham for investment management and advisory firm Vengrove at Erdington Industrial Park in Birmingham.

The units which were built speculatively were constructed to an extremely high specification with best in class ESG credentials achieving the score of BREEAM Excellent and EPC A rating. The specification includes 10M eaves height, 44M yard depth, roof mounted PV panels together with dock level and level access doors.

Speaking about the project Glencar Managing Director Midlands, Pete Goodman said: "This development goes some way towards tackling the shortage of new, high specification mid-box warehousing in Birmingham with occupier demand outstripping supply.

"Logistics and Industrial is truly at the core of what we do and the best in class ESG specification that features in this development is now firmly established as an industry benchmark. In this aspect, Glencar is making significant strides and leading the way in terms of delivering sustainable development that features both reduced carbon in construction and eventual operation.

"I would like to thank the full professional team on this build who have delivered an exceptional end-product and we look forward to seeing the building in operation."
