Canmoor Swindon SARL has launched its brand-new speculative development of seven warehouses in Swindon, totaling 293,464 sq ft. With strong interest in the development, agents JLL and Whitmarsh Lockhart have already pre-let 84,763 sq ft to DHL with a further 22,674 sq ft under offer, meaning 37% of the estate is prelet prior to practical completion.

Located two miles from Junction 15 of the M4, Ignition has leasehold units available from 20,144 sq ft to 74,248 sq ft, with planning consent for B1(c), B2 and B8 uses. The units benefit from eaves heights of 8 – 12 metres, dock and level access loading doors, allocated parking spaces and high-quality office space. A full breakdown of the development is as follows: 

• Unit 1 – 40,070 sq ft 
• Unit 2 – 34,178 sq ft 
• Unit 3 – 20,144 sq ft 
• Unit 4 – 22,674 sq ft (under offer) 
• Unit 5 – 26,107 sq ft
• Unit 6 – 84,763 sq ft (pre-let to DHL) 
• Unit 7 – 65,341 sq ft 

Also available are design and build opportunities up to 200,000 sq ft on Phase 2, to be let on competitive terms. 

With its growing and highly-skilled industrial workforce, Ignition represents a significant development for Swindon whilst also offering easy access to Reading, Bristol, Heathrow Airport and Central London. To celebrate the launch of the development, 45 local & regional agents attended the opening day and inspected the site on electric scooters, which provided a fun and unique way of viewing the units.

Shaun Rogerson, Director – Industrial & Logistics JLL UK, commented: “Swindon is a key industrial hub being perfectly positioned to provide easy access to London/Thames Valley and the South West. Combined with the high quality offices and state-of-the-art units on offer, it is easy to see why interest is so high.”
