McLaren completes phase two at Bolsover’s Horizon 29
The £41m tranche of industrial & logistics space has been delivered for developer Equation Properties, bringing two 250,000 sq ft units to the East Midlands market.
Units 7 and 8 at Horizon 29 each include two-storey office accommodation, 23 loading docks and dedicated transport offices.
Situated around a mile from Junction 29A of the M1, the logistics hub now offers 1.15m sq ft.
McLaren Construction also completed Phase 1A and 1B of Horizon 29 in February last year, which comprised four warehouse units (Units 1, 2, 4 and 5) alongside earthworks, CMC and VSC piling, concrete foundations, steel framing, lift shaft and stair installations, nets for roofing works and office elevation cladding.
Constructed to a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’, Units 7 and 8 feature a wide range of sustainability enhancements including solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, LED lighting, electric vehicle charging points, enhanced cladding, and responsibly sourced materials. The units also incorporate biodiversity-friendly features such as bird and bat boxes.
The external works, also completed by McLaren Construction, have been carefully designed to fit in with rural surroundings due to their proximity to Bolsover Castle. These have included constructing hardstanding, car parking, landscaping, drainage, and installation of 60-cycle racks per unit, along with gatehouses.
Luke Arnold, regional director of McLaren Construction Midlands and North, said: “Completing Phase 2 at Horizon 29 is the next major milestone for the expanding hub for large-scale logistics, which we have been an integral part of since starting construction on Phase 1A and 1B in 2022. We’ve delivered two more energy-efficient units to the same high standard as earlier phases, using sustainable materials and the latest low-carbon technologies.
“We’re proud to continue our work with our valued client Equation Properties to realise the vision for Horizon 29, a landmark destination for the East Midlands distribution and logistics sector.”
