Indurent starts construction of c.420,000 sq ft industrial and logistics asset at Omega West, Warrington

Indurent, a leading developer and operator of industrial and logistics space across the UK, has commenced construction of a c.420,000 sq ft industrial and logistics unit at Omega West in Warrington.

The unit is being developed speculatively and will deliver high-quality industrial workspace targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A+ accreditations. Omega West will have access to a 2MVA sustainable power supply from day one, bolstered by the installation of solar PV cells, capable of supporting a wide range of manufacturing and distribution uses.

Omega West is located on the 800-acre mixed-use Omega development, situated on the north-western edge of Warrington. The development is one of the North West’s most prominent industrial and logistics locations, home to a diverse mix of leading global businesses including Amazon, Royal Mail, ASDA and The Hut Group.

The area benefits from high-quality transport links providing access to a large consumer catchment and skilled local workforce. Omega West is close to both Manchester and Liverpool, which have a combined population of 4.2 million, taking under 30 minutes by road, while the Port of Liverpool, also just a 30-minute drive from the site, unlocks international shipping routes for global distribution occupiers. 65% of the UK population is accessible within a single HGV drive time. McClaren Construction is acting as construction manager. The unit is expected to complete in the fist half of 2025.

“Omega West is one of the North West’s leading industrial locations, as evidenced by the number of international businesses that already occupy space at the park. The development of the final plot will deliver modern, sustainable industrial space at a rare scale, and we anticipate strong demand for the space once we begin actively marketing it through the construction phase.”

“We are thrilled to be bringing forward the development of Omega 420 which will be one of the few large-scale logistics facilities to be delivered in the North West in 2025. This forms part of Indurent’s wider forward funding and development acquisition strategy targeting supply-constrained markets with robust demand, ensuring the delivery of high-quality assets to meet the evolving needs of our customers”.
