McLaren ԭ (Midlands and North) is building unit B4 on behalf of Columbia Threadneedle Investments.
B4 involves the design and construction of a 92,000 sq ft industrial unit at the World Freight Terminal development to the west of Manchester Airport, complete with office space, external works and landscaping.
The £12.8m project follows a previous phase of works for Columbia Threadneedle on the park. That was a 100,000 sq ft warehouse sub-divided into three commercial units, with internal office spaces.
For B4, McLaren has a 50-week completion target.
Operating within the confines of airport security has posed logistical challenges but McLaren ԭ has navigated these by collaborating with Manchester Airport Group (MAG) Utilities and other stakeholders.
Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren ԭ (Midlands and North), said: “The B4 project is an essential part of the airport’s ongoing development, providing much-needed industrial and logistics space. With our experience in delivering high-quality projects in complex environments, we are confident that this new facility will play a key role in supporting the airport’s growth and operational needs.”
