Greenbox Darlington has officially reached completion, providing over 400,000 sq. ft. of sustainable, Grade A logistics and industrial space in the North East. The project, a joint venture between Partners Group and Citivale, marks a significant milestone in delivering best-in-class, environmentally responsible infrastructure.

The completion ceremony, attended by project partners, local council leaders, and stakeholders, celebrated the achievement of Net Zero Carbon in Construction and Operation, along with EPC 'A' and BREEAM 'Excellent' ratings.

Greenbox Darlington consists of three industrial units, ranging from 84,950 sq. ft. to 215,360 sq. ft. The development emphasized environmental stewardship throughout construction, including a green supply chain collaboration and on-site sustainability initiatives. Notably, the project pioneered the use of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), achieving a 44 tCO2e reduction over 22 weeks.
