Known as DC107, the Stephen George + Partners-designed building is available for immediate occupation.

“As a speculative development, it demonstrates our confidence in the market and our commitment to investing in buildings that respond to the evolving needs of our customers,” said James Hemstock, vice president of capital deployment at Prologis UK.
“From its digital infrastructure to the emphasis on operational flexibility and employee wellbeing, we’ve looked carefully at how the building can deliver real benefits for the businesses and people who will use it.”
DC107 is located within Prologis RFI DIRFT, which has three on-site rail freight terminals providing access to the national rail freight network.
Other facilities at the park include The Hub training facility and landscaped areas at The Green and Shenley Gardens.
Tariq Khan, studio director at Stephen George + Partners, added: “We are delighted to see DC107 complete and look forward to seeing future occupiers reap the benefits of a best-in-class logistics building at one of the most desirable logistics locations in the UK.
“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.”
