– 155,000 sq ft sustainable warehouse targets operational Net Zero Carbon office space –
St. Modwen Logistics, a leading logistics developer and manager, has boosted the regeneration of Longbridge and surrounding areas with a further £20m investment to build a 155,000 sq ft sustainable warehouse that could create more than 300 jobs to continue to boost the local economy.
The Longbridge 155 warehouse development, located at The Cofton Centre next to the former MG Rover plant, is due for completion in October 2022. It will showcase St. Modwen’s Swan Standard commitment – a set of industry-leading sustainable development guidelines with a focus on responsible building practices that allows its customers to target true Net Zero Carbon in operation.
A Whole Life Carbon model is being introduced to drive more naturally based materials into the design, to enhance the embedded sustainability and mitigate the need for carbon offsetting. Whole Life Carbon emissions are those produced from both the construction and use of the building over its entire lifespan.
