Construction of the 512,000 sq ft warehouse is being funded by AEW UK Investment Management, which has bought the site from Caddick Group.
Wakefield 515, which will be speculatively built, marks the second phase of Crosspoint 33, an emerging logistics hub by junction 33 of the M62.
Caddick also built the first phase 鈥� a 拢100m 1.2m sq ft distribution centre now occupied by TJX Europe, parent company of retail brands TK Maxx and HomeSense.
Myles Hartley, managing director at Caddick Developments, explained his company鈥檚 beds-and-sheds strategy. "As a group, our focus is on structurally-supported asset classes such as build-to-rent and industrial/logistics, where we see long-term growth potential,鈥� he said.
Caddick鈥檚 build-to-rent housing brand, Moda Living, opened its first development, Angel Gardens in central Manchester, last month. It is also due to start on-site with the first phase of its 拢300m SOYO neighbourhood in Leeds city centre, a 515-home BTR scheme that Caddick Construction will build for Moda Living.
