Northwood Urban Logistics Mersey Reach development at Aintree has secured another new occupier and placed several other units UNDER OFFER which would take occupancy at the scheme to 92% with only two remaining units.

Florence Roby, the UK’s leading suppliers of luxury work uniforms for the beauty, spa, hotel, and medical industries have taken a 10-year lease of Unit 6B Mersey Reach that is 7,541 sq. ft.

Other occupiers include Selco Builders Warehouse, Hardy, Happy Drinks, CNC Robotics, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, and TF Solutions .

Mersey Reach is located on Dunnings Bridge Road, one of the busiest arterial roads into Liverpool with 40,000 passing vehicles each day and offers easy access to the M57 and M58 at Switch Island. All units benefit from an EPC rating of B, natural lighting, and insulated cladding, while the site also offers electric vehicle (EV) charging points and secure cycle parking.

Thomas Marriott from B8 Real Estate comments on the most recent letting:  “Within the MLI and mid-box industrial sector, new build take-up for H1, 2023 in the NW region stood at 580,000 sq. ft across 29 transactions.”

This was a 6% increase compared to H1, 2022 that had seen 544,000 sq. ft. across 16 transactions.  Occupier sentiment remains strong that require good quality second hand or modern/new build. With the current levels of high demand, take-up for this sub-sector is expected to be ahead of the 5-year average albeit good quality availability is diminishing.

Iain Taylor, Director at Northwood Urban Logistics, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Florence Roby to Mersey Reach. There is a significant lack of availability of good quality industrial premises within Liverpool City Region and the scheme offers a fantastic solution for growing occupiers.’’

B8 Real Estate and JLL acted as joint agents on behalf of the Landlord, Northwood Urban Logistics and LM6 acted on behalf of Florence Roby.
