Next phase of £7m speculative development underway in East Kilbride

KNIGHT Property Group has started construction work on-site with the next phase of speculative development at Langlands Commercial Park in East Kilbride.

Clark Contracts has been appointed main contractor on the new 28,000 sq ft industrial warehouse. The project is expected to be completed by April 2024.

This £7 million development will comprise warehouse and office space, plus concrete yard, with 24 parking spaces and four EV car charging points. The unit will be of steel portal frame construction and will feature ‘high performance’ cladding. It is targeting an EPC ‘A’ rating and BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard.

This is the third phase of speculative development at Langlands by Knight.

Howard Crawshaw, MD of Knight Property Group, said, “Our commitment to sustainable speculative industrial and logistics development is exemplified by our ongoing investment programme across Lanarkshire. The decision to proceed reflects the success of our existing Langlands project and our strong believe that this development will be positively received by the Scottish market, as well as bringing new businesses and jobs to the area.”

Andrew McCracken, director of JLL, added, “This new development aligns well with the robust demand for high-quality industrial and warehouse space in the Scottish market. Its exceptional connectivity further enhances its attractiveness, and we expect strong market demand.”
