MUIR Construction has secured the contract for the build of a 30,000 sq ft industrial warehouse in East Kilbride.
Knight Property Group is set to commence the final phase of speculative development at its Langlands Commercial Park, having secured planning consent from South Lanarkshire Council.
Construction is scheduled to get underway in January 2025, with Knight Property Group anticipating it to be completed by summer 2025.
Set on a 2.60-acre site, this £6 million development will comprise a 27,967 sq ft warehouse and a 1,991 sq ft office suite, alongside a concrete yard of 0.74 acres, parking and EV charging points.
The unit will feature steel portal frame construction and ‘high-performance’ cladding plus expansion space for an additional floor of offices being built to shell specification. It is targeting an EPC ‘A’ rating and BREEAM ‘very good’ standard. The fit-out can also be tailored to meet the specific requirements of individual occupiers.
This project marks the final phase of Knight’s speculative development at Langlands, following the successful letting and sale of the park’s three previous phases.
Howard Crawshaw, MD of Knight Property Group, said, ”Our commitment to sustainable, speculative industrial and logistics development is underscored by our ongoing investment programme across Lanarkshire. Building on the success of the previous phases of our Langlands project, we are confident that this new development will be well-received by the Scottish market, attracting new businesses and creating valuable jobs for the region. We are happy to be working again with Muir Construction.”
Alan Muir, joint MD of Muir Construction, added, “Our team is committed to delivering high-quality, state-of-the-art facilities that will meet the needs of modern businesses and contribute to Lanarkshire’s continued economic growth. We look forward to working again with Knight and bringing this vision to life and creating this exciting new industrial development.”
