VolkerFitzpatrick has been appointed by logistics developer Prologis UK to design and build five new distribution units at Prologis Park Hemel Hempstead, within the Maylands Business Park.
The new depot scheme is the second project Volker has delivered at the site and once complete will see the business park grow by more than 280,000 sq. ft, with units ranging between 19,000 and 75,000 sq. ft.
The development forms part of a drive to deliver long-term infrastructure in the area, in line with the Think Hemel initiative.
All units will include rooftop solar panels, target EPC A+ and BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ ratings and will align with the UKGBC zero carbon in construction framework.
The project is scheduled to complete in Q1 2025, with enabling earthworks, drainage and site access construction having already commenced.
Stuart Deverill, MD of Volker’s Building division, said: “I am delighted that VolkerFitzpatrick has been chosen to deliver this significant expansion.
“We have been working with Prologis for many years and our strong, collaborative approach has enabled us to deliver innovative and sustainable projects whilst setting new standards for workplace wellbeing.”
