Logistics developer Panattoni ramps up mid-box logistics drive with speculative development in Crawley

Panattoni Park Crawley consists of two units of 134,012sq ft and 65,660sq ft, which could be combined into one and will be built to a BREEAM sustainability rating of Excellent and an EPC rating of A.

Both units will incorporate enhanced sustainability measures, including roof-mounted solar panels, rainwater harvesting, electric vehicle charging points and 15% roof lights to give a high level of natural daylight.

Panattoni Park Crawley is in an established last mile and distribution location on Fleming Way in the industrial area of Manor Royal Business District, close to Gatwick Airport and junction 10 of the M23.

Occupiers at Manor Royal include Amazon, DPD, Hermes, Parcelforce, Royal Mail, UPS, Yodel, Ocado and Tesco.

Panattoni Park Crawley is the fifth mid-box development for Panattoni in the south east, joining Poyle (80,000sq ft), Burgess Hill (452,469sq ft), Brighton (268,063sq ft) and Basingstoke (117,050sq ft).

David McGougan, Panattoni development director, said: “This development is in line with our strategy to speculatively develop in undersupplied markets, and Crawley provides occupiers with an excellent base to service London and south east markets.

“The outlook for the mid-box market is positive, with good levels of occupier interest, driven by their flight to quality and the desire to move out of older redundant stock and into modern and efficient space.”
