Construction of a huge new industrial warehouse on Bristol’s northern edge has been completed.

Work on the 115,600 sq ft Unit G5 at the Horizon 38 development in Filton, South Gloucestershire, began in September. It is the largest new-build logistics unit available in the area, according to real estate firms Avison Young and JLL, which are marketing the scheme.

The facility, delivered by St Francis Group and Almcor with main contractor MCS Group, 10 dock-level doors and two ground-level doors; 50 KN/m2 floor loading; a large secure yard; and a range of sustainable features including six electric vehicle charging points. The space also includes 5,600 sq ft of office space on the upper floor.

It takes total storage and industrial space at Horizon 38, located on the former site of Rolls-Royce’s East Works plant alongside the A38, to 580,000 sq ft. Carmaker Volvo, and aerospace giant GKN are among the firms based in the development.

Nigel Lax, joint founder of Isec Group, which has now rebranded to Almcor, said: “Unit G5 represents the culmination of seven years hard work on the part of Almcor and St Francis Group in regenerating the former 65 acre East Works Site and creating North Bristol’s premier business park. We are very proud of what our joint teams have achieved and look forward to successfully letting the final unit at Horizon 38”.

Avison Young associate James Short added: “As a result of this accessibility, the size and high spec development of the new unit, the warehouse could easily act as a major industrial HQ for a local company, a strategic logistics hub servicing the region, or a facility to expand the neighbouring aerospace industries.”
