St Modwen Park Chippenham



St Modwen is continuing to strengthen its south west portfolio with the commencement of steelworks at its first speculative 106,000sq ft unit, St Modwen Park Chippenham.

This unit will form part of the first phase of the development in the 73-acre site which involves comprehensive site wide preparation, including new roundabout access. The scheme looks to be ready by September 2020.

When the site is complete, the scheme is expected to create about 1,300 jobs along with skills, training and apprenticeship opportunities via a partnership, which has been planned, with Wiltshire College during construction.

In the longer term, St Modwen Park Chippenham looks to generate significant forward investment for the local area. The site will be located off J17 of the M4, in the heart of the South West logistics triangle, which serves the M4 corridor and between Bristol and Swindon. Work is now underway on the scheme, with build-to-suit opportunities available immediately ranging from 100,000sq ft to 1,000,000sq ft.

Peter Davies, Development Director at St Modwen Industrial and Logistics said: “The first phase of development at St Modwen Park Chippenham is an exciting start to his key strategically located logistics employment site, which already has a significant amount of interest due to its excellent location and high-quality speculative build programme.”

Neil Bannerman, Project Manager at Winvic Construction Ltd added: “We are proud to be delivering this high-quality unit as part of a phase one in Chippenham, one of a number of schemes Winvic is currently constructing as St Modwen’s partner. We hope to continue to work with St Modwen across their UK portfolio and exceeding expectations along the way.”
