Origin heads for completion on £30m I&L
A joint venture between HBD and Feldberg Capital is closing in on the final phase of its ARK development at Markham Vale.
Industrial developer Origin says all steelwork has now been completed on a 53,600 sq ft logistics unit, set to become the final building completed as part of the second phase of its Derbyshire scheme.
Capital Angling was named as the first occupier for phase one, taking a 17,050sq ft unit, completed as part of a 107,000 sq ft ESG-compliant industrial and logistics space in October.
Practical completion on phase two is expected in Q3 2026.
Vivienne Clements, Executive Director at HBD, said: “The completion of steels at ARK keeps us firmly on track for the delivery of phase two later this year. As a flagship location, Markham Vale continues to attract a wide range of occupiers thanks to its connectivity and strong track record. We’re pleased to be delivering additional high-quality space that supports business growth and job creation in the region.”
Markham Vale is a landmark 200-acre industrial and logistics development delivered by HBD in joint venture with Derbyshire County Council, already home to occupiers including Great Bear Distribution, Smurfit Kappa and Bilstein.
The agents for ARK are Knight Frank, JLL and CPP.
Jamie Acheson, Managing Director of Feldberg Capital, added: “ARK demonstrates our focus on targeting well-connected locations and delivering best-in-class, sustainable assets that meet business’ evolving requirements. With demand for ESG-compliant space continuing to grow, ARK is well-placed to attract high-quality occupiers.”
