Maple Grove Developments (MGD), part of the Eric Wright Group, has commenced infrastructure works on its 19-acre site just north of Penrith.
Located adjacent to the A6 and Junction 41 on the M6 Motorway, outline planning consent is already in place for 250,000 sq. ft of industrial and logistics space; this initial programme of works is being delivered by Toman Construction.
Maple Grove Developments (MGD) acquired the 19-acre development site primed for commercial development, with outline planning consent that allows for up to 250,000 sq. ft of industrial and logistics space plus general business uses, in November 2024..
The Eric Wright Charitable Trust who owns Maple Grove Developments as part of the Eric Wright Group, also owns and operates Water Park Lakeland Adventure Centre in Cumbria.
Speaking about the development James Scott, managing director at Maple Grove, commented: "We have worked closely with the local authority to finalise the site's infrastructure design and are pleased to be at a stage where we can commence these works and open up the access to the site."
Paul Cook at CBRE, joint agents for the scheme with Carlisle-based Carigiet Cowen, continued: "This announcement demonstrates Maple Grove's commitment to delivering a new high-quality commercial development in this area of Cumbria. The location of the site, coupled with the fact that power has already been secured, is already attracting interest from occupiers looking for modern accommodation in this area of the North."
The project team includes: C4 Projects (architect); Stantec – Highways, M&E, Structures, GWB Consultants (QS) and Adams Planning and Development.
