Known as MLM Crayford, the scheme comprises three sustainable industrial buildings with Grade A office space, ranging in size from 32,000 sq ft to 110,000 sq ftt. A multi-storey car park will also be built to serve the development.<\/p>\n
The presence of the Slade Green to Dartford railway line on the Northeastern boundary calls on McLaren\u2019s experience of working adjacent to rail infrastructure under a Network Rail Basic Asset Protection Agreement.<\/p>\n
The scheme targets BREEAM Outstanding, EPC A and a carbon neutral whole life cycle.<\/p>\n
Sustainable features of the design include photovoltaic roof panels and energy efficient LED lighting, as well as bicycle storage, EV charging provision and external wellbeing areas for occupiers. The 12-acre brownfield site in Bexley Council\u2019s Thames Road Industrial Area has been disused for around 15 years.<\/p>\n
McLaren Construction\u2019s managing director for industrial and logistics, David Gavin, said: \u201cThere are some locations where warehouse construction might be straightforward, but not in an urban area, up against a railway line and with the ambition of achieving BREEAM Outstanding.<\/p>\n
