Work starts on 1.15m sq ft of warehousing off the M1 in Derbyshire

Work has started on a vast new warehouse development off the M1 in Derbyshire.

The Horizon 29 scheme in Bolsover is going up a mile from junction 29a of the motorway and will include eight units being built in three stages.

McLaren Construction (Midlands & North) is working on all the external works of the first two, single storey warehouses for Equation Properties and Bentall Green Oak. The same contractor will also work on the next two units, which should be completed next summer.

Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction (Midlands and North), said: “Horizon 29 will be a premier distribution centre in a prime location in the Midlands, making it the ideal address for tenants wanting direct and easy access to the M1 north and south.

“We are pleased to be appointed by Equation Properties and to be working with them on the first phase of this impressive scheme.”

Dick Smallman, construction director at Equation Properties – a London-based property development company for the distribution and industrial sector - said: “We are delighted to have appointed McLaren Construction for the first phase of development at Horizon 29.

“Construction is now underway for the scheme.”

Sustainable features of Horizon 29 include solar PVs, air source heat pumps, enhanced cladding, responsibly sourced sustainable materials, LED lighting and electric vehicle charging points.

McLaren Construction (Midlands and North) Ltd is part of McLaren Group – a group of companies formed in 2001 which operate in construction, property and development throughout the UK and UAE.
