Update on Airport Business Park Scheme in Southend
Henry Boot PLC has completed construction enabling works at its
21-ha Airport Business Park Scheme (ABPS), which is located in a
prime distribution area of Southend. ABPS is a GBP90m GDV joint
venture between the Group's development business, HBD, and
Southend-on-Sea Council. The scheme is set to create 3,500 jobs in
the area.
Completion of the enabling works presents further development
opportunities in the Group's GBP1.4bn development pipeline. The
Group has secured outline planning permission for 1 million sq. ft.
of flexible business space at the site, further adding to Henry
Boot's industrial offering, which currently makes up approximately
74% of the development pipeline. The continued delivery and
replenishment of the GBP1.4bn development pipeline will play a key
role in keeping the Group in a strong position
In July ABPS secured its first occupier, IPECO Holdings, which
took possession of a purpose-built building to be utilised in its
manufacturing of seating for aircraft crews. With the enabling
works complete, t he Group is able deliver up to 52,500 sq. ft.
buildings within an efficient 12-15-month timeframe and will now
turn its focus on securing more occupiers.
Ed Hutchinson, Managing Director of HBD said: "ABPS is a
significant development both for Henry Boot and Southend, creating
valuable industrial and logistic space and employment in the area.
Work is continuing to progress quickly on site, and we look forward
to securing further tenants and submitting planning for further
aspects of the scheme in the coming weeks."
