Greenbox Darlington secures first letting

Trade merchant Wolseley has taken 108,000 sq ft at the Net Zero logistics hub, a joint venture between real estate investment company Partners Group and logistics developer Citivale.

Greenbox was represented by HTA Real Estate and Savills, with Wolseley advised by Lambert Smith Hampton.

The speculatively built logistics park completed in March and comprises three grade A industrial units ranging from 85,000 sq ft to 215,000 sq ft.

Wolseley, a merchant in plumbing, heating, cooling, and infrastructure trade, has taken space at Unit 2.

Greenbox Darlington was built to BREEAM Excellent and EPC A standards, with Net Zero as the core principle of the development.

James Appleton-Metcalfe, chief executive at Citivale, commented: “The welcome addition of Wolseley as our first occupier not only validates the strength of Greenbox’s sustainable development model but also reinforces the growing demand for grade A, Net Zero carbon logistics space in the North East.

“We’re proud to partner with businesses like Wolseley that share our values around long-term sustainability and operational excellence.”
