McLaren Construction Midlands and North has been appointed to lead the delivery of Plot 4 at the Matrix 49 industrial development in Avonmouth, Bristol.

The project is being undertaken on behalf of Equation Properties Ltd.

Work began on site in February 2025, with the 66-week construction programme targeting completion by April 2026. The new phase will see the design and construction of a 596,000 sq. ft speculative warehouse, which will include integrated office space, transport hubs, a link bridge and a gatehouse.


Early activity on the site includes ground improvements, piling, and the installation of a foul pumping station. The wider scope also encompasses underground drainage, utility connections, external works, and landscaping—further enhancing the site's role as a strategic logistics hub.

Sustainability remains a core focus, with the scheme targeting a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating. The development will also meet the standards of the Considerate Constructors Scheme and Smart Waste BRE, reflecting McLaren Construction's ongoing commitment to responsible and environmentally conscious building practices.

The development is expected to generate new employment opportunities and support long-term economic growth in the Avonmouth area.
