Logistics North, Bolton | A Project by Harworth Group plc

Overview & Vision

Logistics North is one of the largest and most successful developments of its kind to be brought forward in the north of England. Envisaged as a hub for both manufacturing and logistics operations, the scheme will deliver over 4 million sq ft of bespoke Grade A industrial buildings in a range of sizes once fully developed, in addition to a 550-acre country park.

Built on the former Cutacre surface mine site where deep mining operations have also taken place, the scheme has already delivered over 3m sq ft of commercial space since receiving initial outline planning consent in December 2013. Once fully developed, the site is expected to deliver over £300m of Gross Value Added to the local economy in addition to over 7,000 jobs.

The quality of the development and the site’s excellent location at the heart of the region’s motorway network has been key to attracting some of the World’s leading logistics companies including Aldi, Amazon, Lidl and Whistl, where 5,500 people are now employed on site.

Development Progress

Utilising our operational expertise and experience to regenerate former brownfield sites and create development platforms, we have been able to deliver the proposed development plans in addition to creating onsite facilities and infrastructure that opens up the site and creates immediate access to the adjacent M61 motorway at Junction 4.

One of the unique attributes of Logistics North is the 550-acre Country Park that we have planned and constructed, providing unique surroundings for businesses and further providing the employees and local residents with a recreation opportunity with 18 km of new footpaths, bridleways and cycle paths.

A key element of Logistics North is the Multiply scheme which is a joint venture between Harworth Group plc and the Lancashire County Pension Fund c/o Knight Frank Investment Management. Phase 1 of Multiply completed in November 2017 with all three units now fully let. Phase 2 practically completed in November 2018 where all five of the smaller units are fully let and only the larger unit (F2/G) at 149,300 sq ft remains. The third and final phase, comprising a plot for 131,000 sq ft, is currently being marketed for a design and build opportunity with the potential to combine with F2/G for a c.280,000 sq ft unit.
