Henry Boot has won consent for 75,000 sq ft of industrial space at Airport Business Park Southend.
The firm’s property investment and development arm HBD, which has just completed a £15 million industrial development for aircraft seating manufacturer Ipeco at the 52-acre park, will market the newly-consented space to potential occupiers on a design and build basis.
Work on the scheme of two units is expected to start in Q1, 2025.
The Ipeco development, which delivered 140,000 sq ft of manufacturing space, more than doubles the Ipeco’s space and was completed just ahead of the new consent.
Tim Roberts, chief executive of Henry Boot plc, said: “HBD’s practical completion and further expansion at ABPS is testament to the quality and appeal of the premium, purpose-built sites we design and deliver, which are highly sought after by occupiers.
“We look forward to maintaining our partnership with Southend-on-Sea City Council as Airport Business Park Southend continues to establish itself as a leading industrial and logistics hub in the region, welcoming businesses of all sizes to expand and innovate.
Additionally, achieving further planning permission allows us to continue to meet high occupier demand and ease the critical undersupply of industrial space that exists in the Southend area.”
