DTZ Investors is pleased to announce the formal practical completion of a newly constructed Grade A warehouse/industrial facility at Trafford150, Longbridge Road, Trafford Park, Manchester.

Working alongside development partners Graftongate and leading local contractor Russell WHBO, the 150,000 sq ft unit has been completed with an environmentally-conscious design at its heart including 17,000 sq ft of PV panels on the roof generating 300,000 kwh/annum of power, bike storage facilities together with showers and lockers, fourteen EV individual vehicle charging stations with capacity for a further twenty-eight and a rainwater harvesting tank.  All of these features will support an occupier with its sustainability targets and reduce long-term energy costs.  

The unit is all electric, with net-zero regulated energy use that has secured an EPC A+ (-7) rating. Embodied carbon has been measured, reduced and mitigated in line with DTZ Investors’ net zero carbon framework which will see the unit awarded a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. The unit will have access to a 1MVA of sustainable power supply in addition to the power generated by the solar photovoltaic cells.

Trafford150 is situated on Longbridge Road, off Ashburton Road West, less than four miles from Manchester City Centre. Strategically located close to Junction 9 & 10 of the M60 and Junction 2 of the M602, the unit stands in good company with neighbouring occupiers including Amazon, Kellogg’s, L’Oréal, DHL, Stobart and Adidas.

Elliot Herbertson, Fund Manager at DTZ Investors, said in a statement: “Trafford Park is the North West’s leading strategic urban industrial location, directly servicing Greater Manchester and the wider North West market. Trafford 150 embodies DTZ Investors' ongoing commitment to delivering best-in-class industrial and logistics space that meets sustainability targets in key national markets across the UK.”

Iolo Morgan at BNP Paribas Real Estate added “Trafford Park is the North West’s prime urban industrial location, demonstrated by the countless pedigree occupiers located across the Park. Trafford 150 offers the only Grade A unit over 100,000 sq ft currently available for immediate occupation on the Park.”
