Prologis UK has secured the green light for a 107,000 sq ft distribution centre at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) in Northamptonshire.
Construction works will begin in January 2026, paving the way for DC107 to be ready for occupation from August.
The rail-linked new development will feature a glazed south-facing external balcony and full-width bifold doors, integrating the outdoors with the internal work environment to support placemaking and wellbeing. The building will also target EPC A+ and BREEAM Outstanding.
James Hemstock, vice president capital deployment at Prologis UK, said: “At just over 100,000 sq ft this unit’s size is quite a rarity at DIRFT, and offers the market a distinctive proposition. With a clear focus on developing logistics real estate in the most desirable locations, Prologis aims to meet growing demand and changing industry needs.
“The wide range of customers at DIRFT shows that the site offers a best-in-class logistics location for businesses needing to reach every corner of the UK efficiently and we anticipate that this new development will generate a high level of interest.”
DC107 is designed by Stephen George + Partners (SGP) on behalf of Prologis UK.
Tariq Khan, studio director at SGP, said: “This unit represents contemporary logistics design, where future proofing functionality, architectural quality and customer experience work hand in hand. Our approach focused on creating a building that not only performs efficiently but also enhances everyday wellbeing, with features helping to elevate the overall working environment.”
With three build-to-suit projects on site and further infrastructure being delivered, DC107 will complete the northern gateway to DIRFT.
