Strategically located adjacent to Junction 6 of the M61, the development offers seamless connectivity to the M60, M6, and M62 motorways, as well as proximity to Manchester International Airport and the Port of Liverpool, positioning it as a key hub for both domestic and international distribution.
Arrow Point Bolton is being delivered as part of Arrow Capital Partners’ €3 billion Strategic Industrial Real Estate (SIRE) joint venture with Cerberus Capital Management, underscoring the firm’s commitment to expanding its footprint in prime UK logistics markets.
