GMI Construction has been awarded the contract to construct up to 2.5 million sq ft of high bay distribution and industrial accommodation at Follingsby Max, a new logistics site south of the Follingsby Park Industrial development in Gateshead.
The site will offer B2 or B8 use units in a range of sizes from 200,000 sq ft up to 2,500,000 sq ft. Site infrastructure and enabling works are underway with serviced plots available for development in Early 2019.

The site sits within the North East Enterprise Zone – a key strategic business employment zone launched in April 2012 specifically to support economic growth by providing tax breaks and a range of interventions to help businesses start-up, grow and expand.
