The park has excellent accessibility to the M56, which connects with J20 of the M6
motorway 6 miles east and J11 of the M53 motorway approximately 8 miles west.
Manchester International and Liverpool John Lennon Airports are situated within
25 minutes’ drive. Rail communications are equally good, with Runcorn and Warrington Stations
providing West Coast Intercity connections both within 5 miles of the Park.

INDUSTRIAL MARKET COMMENTARYThe distribution market in the North West is experiencing significant demand for good distribution
buildings. Take up within this sector was extremely strong during 2014, which stood at over 4.5m sq ft for
buildings over 100,000 sq ft throughout the region. Take-up for H1 2015 was at approximately 3m sq ft, a
significant rise on H1 2014.
D&B transactions in the region have been recently signed including The Hut (670,000 sq ft) at Omega,
Travis Perkins (630,000 sq ft) at Omega, Asda (600,000 sq ft) at Omega, MBDA (100,000 sq ft) at Bolton,
Aldi (440,000 sq ft) at Bolton, B&M Bargains (500,000 sq ft) at Speke and Johnson Controls (150,000 sq ft)
at Speke. Most recently Poundland (350,000 sq ft), Nicepak (395,000 sq ft) at Wigan, Exertis (543,000 sq ft)
at Burnley and Dunelm (525,000 sq ft) at Stoke.
Existing stock for buildings over 100,000 sq ft has fallen to only 5m sq ft.
The strength of the North West distribution market has resulted in a return to confidence in speculative
development with a number of buildings of between 95,000 sq ft to 400,000 sq ft planned and on site.
Quoting rentals are between £5.50 per sq ft and £6.25 per sq ft.
This area of the region has benefited hugely from the growth and continued success of the major car plants
in the area being Jaguar Land Rover at Speke where the popular Evoque is built and Vauxhall Motors where
the Astra is built. This has led to a massive boost in automotive supply chain which is set to continue with
the investment into the plant at Speke and the soon to be launched Electric Car at Vauxhall.
Major infrastructure works in the region will support the growth in the distribution sector over the
forthcoming decade including the Liverpool 2 Container Port which will double the handling capacity at the
Port and also permit direct entry to larger vessels from Asia into Liverpool, rather than the redistribution
of goods onto smaller vessels at Rotterdam. The new Mersey Gateway Bridge is also due to be completed
in 2017 which will provide faster links to the region including linking the M56 and M62 with south Liverpool.
