About This Project
Project Overview
Glencar was appointed to design and construct two modern warehouse distribution and production units, J1 and J2, at Kingsway, Rochdale. The development provides a combined 203,500 sq ft of high-quality industrial space, supporting continued growth within the region’s logistics and manufacturing sectors.
The scheme delivers state-of-the-art facilities with integrated office accommodation, dedicated service yards, car parking and landscaped surroundings, enhancing both operational efficiency and site aesthetics.
Glencar’s Role
Operating under a Design & Build contract, Glencar was responsible for the full delivery of both units, including structural construction, office fit-out, external works and coordination of all site infrastructure.
Scope of Works
Warehouse Construction
Construction of two Grade A industrial units built to modern logistics and production standards, providing high ceilings, large open floor plates and robust structural systems.
Office Accommodation
Provision of ancillary office cores and first-floor office space within both units, delivering high-quality, functional working environments integrated seamlessly with warehouse operations.
Service Yards & External Works
Each unit benefits from dedicated service yards designed for heavy vehicle access, loading and unloading, alongside associated car parking and landscaped areas.
Design & Structural Approach
The development utilised structural steel framing and precast concrete elements to achieve strength, durability and programme efficiency, supporting on-time delivery within the 42-week programme.
Sustainability & ESG
The project incorporated modern construction methods and durable materials designed to support long-term performance and operational efficiency, contributing to the overall quality and resilience of the Kingsway estate.
Technical & Delivery Challenges
Delivering two substantial units concurrently required careful programme management and coordination of structural, office and external works to ensure both buildings were completed on schedule.
The Outcome
Completed in August 2024, Plot J2 strengthens the Kingsway estate with two high-specification industrial facilities, providing flexible, future-ready space capable of accommodating a wide range of logistics and production occupiers.
