DP World starts construction of new warehouse at London Gateway

DP World in the United Kingdom has announced that work has begun on a new 11,000m² green warehouse at London Gateway’s port-centric Logistics Park, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of the next year.

The company has announced increased demand for warehousing space in South East of England, as well as record cargo volumes at its two UK logistics hubs, London Gateway and Southampton, during the first half of 2022.

Oliver Treneman, park development director at DP World in the UK, commented, “At London Gateway, we have the space, infrastructure and vision to support customers as they grow, with the new speculative LG119 likely to be of interest to any growing business looking to expand or establish new operations.”

In the last 12 months, four major new tenants have taken leases at London Gateway’s Logistics Park. Two logistics firms, Transmec and Magnum, signed up earlier this year following the news that London City Bond, a UK bonded warehousing provider, and OASIS Group, a secure information and data storage service provider, would also locate there.

The new facility will have a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ classification, with a target to deliver a 30% carbon reduction during construction and a 40% reduction in operational carbon emissions.
