ProLogis’ recently completed 28,830sq m distribution warehouse at ProLogis Park at Coventry has been let to Co-operative Group. The rent achieved is close to the asking price of £5.50 per sq ft and brings the total warehouse space let at ProLogis Park to nearly 139,500sq m.
The letting at ProLogis Park, Coventry leaves just one last plot available which can take a distribution warehouse of up to 20,460sq m.
Called DC2, the building let to the Co-op was speculatively built and features 28 dock levellers and more than 930sq m of office space. The facility, adjacent to a similar-sized building let to Tesco last May, forms part of the flagship distribution park developed from the former Keresley Colliery. The scheme at the M6’s J3 is rail-served and covers some 300 acres.
North Rae Sanders and D&P Holt are joint agents for ProLogis while Strutt & Parker advised the Co-op.
