Aldi picks contractor in Telford
Morris Property has agreed terms with the supermarket group to deliver a 20,000 sq ft store at Ketley Point on Waterloo Road, formerly home to the Shropshire Star’s printing base.
The redevelopment of the prominent brownfield site should see Aldi open in the second half of 2026. The grocer is working with regular architect The Harris Partnership on the scheme.
Aldi’s planning application was validated in August, with the project set to be determined under delegated powers by Telford & Wrekin Council planning officers.
In line with other Aldi stores, the scheme includes ample parent-and-child parking spaces, electric vehicle chargers, and easy delivery access.
Liz Lowe, head of development at Morris Property, said: “We are delighted to have concluded a deal with ALDI to deliver a new store at Ketley Point.
“It has been a pleasure working collaboratively with ALDI and their architects, Harris Partnership, to bring this development forward. We look forward to handing over the building ready for their internal fit-out by late February to early March 2026.”
Groundworks at the site are already progressing well, Morris said. The in-house construction team, part of Morris & Company, is preparing to erect the steel frame for the retail store in autumn.
The retail store sits on half of the site at Ketley Point, with the remainder being developed by Morris Property speculatively to bring forward a 45,000 sq ft distribution warehouse. This build project will run alongside the construction of the retail store.
The Aldi planning application can be viewed on TWCs planning portal with the reference TWC/2025/0535.
