Tritax Big Box Developments has achieved practical completion at a new national distribution centre for Greggs at Symmetry Park Kettering.
Built by main contractor, TSL, the new 311,551 sq ft facility has been designed to achieve a minimum of BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard, an EPC A rating and meet net zero carbon in construction requirements. The building has been handed over to Greggs for the company to undertake its fit-out.
Jonathan Wallis, managing director at Tritax Big Box Developments, said: “We are delighted to have delivered this outstanding build to Greggs on schedule, allowing them to keep on target to become operational by 2027. The completion of this building is the result of a great working relationship with Greggs, TSL, North Northamptonshire Council and many other stakeholders.”
Tritax Big Box Developments has also secured planning permission for an additional 100,000 sq ft of floor space to support Greggs’ future expansion.
Kuldip Bains, supply chain director at Greggs plc, said: “Completing this stage of our new distribution centre at Symmetry Park marks a major milestone in our supply chain transformation. This purpose-built facility will play a vital role in supporting our growth strategy, enabling us to serve more customers, more efficiently, as we target 3,500 shops across the UK.”
The project team includes SGP, Trinity, Hannans, Feasibility, and Basepower. Joint agents for the scheme are DTRE, BNP Paribas Real Estate and Cushman & Wakefield.
