McLaren Construction Group has been awarded by Firethorn Trust, an investor, and developer, a contract to build the Sherburn42 development in Leeds.

The project involves construction of a 660,000 square feet of logistics warehousing in West Yorkshire.  The project will sit on a 37-acre site adjacent to the Sherburn Enterprise Park in Leeds. It is set to be built to net-zero carbon standards with an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating.

Sherburn42 development

Sherburn42 development will feature four high-spec Grade-A units ranging in size from 57,750 to 280,000 square feet. The project is slated for completion by Q4 2023.

“We take pride in creating industry-leading schemes for occupiers. This is while effectively responding to evolving market demands. Not only does McLaren have the expert capability to accelerate Sherburn42, but the team has illustrated a shared commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation,” said Paul Martin, Development Director at Firethorn.

“We are very happy to be appointed by forward-thinking developers, Firethorn, on this important development, located in one of the most sought-after, accessible locations in North Yorkshire. The four high-quality Grade-A industrial units will create an attractive, fit-for-purpose, sustainable workspace. This will be a win for multi-national distributors and ambitious small and medium-sized enterprises. Consequently, it will provide fantastic opportunities for the region’s workforce. We look forward to establishing a long-term relationship with Firethorn and collaborating on this historic project,” said Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction Midlands & North.
