Aviation industry supplier Aerospheres has taken a 10-year lease on 74,770 sq ft at Prologis Park in Hemel Hempstead.
The new occupier has taken building DC9, currently under construction, to serve as the new operational hub for the business, supporting its mission to supply aviation products globally. It is close to both the M1 and M25.
Aerospheres says its new base will enable the business to adopt cutting-edge new process and technologies, acting as a centre of excellence and flagship for innovation and automation.
The speculative development achieved both EPC A+ and BREEAM Outstanding ratings and features flexible mezzanine spaces, outdoor terraces which are directly accessible from first floor offices, and well-appointed external amenity spaces.
Paul Thompson, chief executive of Aerospheres, said: “Securing DC9 Hemel Hempstead as our new UK headquarters marks an exciting step forward for Aerospheres. This building will provide us with the capacity we need to expand our operations and continue to provide our customers with the highest level of service.”
Robin Woodbridge, head of capital deployment at Prologis UK, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Aerospheres to Prologis Park Hemel Hempstead. The pre-let of DC9 demonstrates the ongoing appeal of our developments to forward-looking businesses that need modern, flexible space to grow.
“Aerospheres plays an essential role in keeping the aviation industry running smoothly, and we’re proud that they’ve chosen to expand their operations with us.”
Further units, ranging from 20,860 to 66,735 sq ft are currently available.
