Northampton G-Park Northampton

Project Overview
The project involved the design and construction of a new 130,000 sq ft warehouse and distribution facility at G Park Northampton for GLP. The development delivered modern industrial accommodation designed to support high-volume logistics and distribution operations. The building was supported by comprehensive external works, including access, parking and servicing infrastructure, enabling efficient site operation. Delivered within a defined programme, the project contributes high-quality logistics space within a well-established industrial location.

Project Requirements
The client required the delivery of a modern warehouse and distribution facility capable of supporting contemporary logistics occupiers. Key objectives included providing efficient internal warehouse space, robust servicing arrangements and high-quality external environments. The scheme needed to incorporate extensive external works, including access routes, parking and infrastructure, to ensure the building was fully operational on completion. Programme certainty was critical to meet the client’s development objectives.
