Following the refurbishment of 45,000 sq ft of warehouse space in the established distribution location located on Whittle Way, Units 6-7 - comprising a total of 18,000 sq ft - have been let to Thasi Ltd, with Ilecsys taking 18,000 sq ft at Units 9 -10 a month later.
Laura Thomson, Director of SHW, says: “The refurbishment works have provided fresh, quality space for the area with generous loading: a place where occupiers want to be, as demonstrated by the letting to Ilecsys. The company was originally based in Crawley, before moving out of the area, and saw the opportunity to return when this space became available.
Following these two latest lettings, just 9,000 sq ft of the refurbished space remains available at Gatwick Distribution Centre.”
The whole estate consists of 17 units arranged within two parallel terraces. Units 6-10 have been fully refurbished to include new roofs, resprayed cladding and internal refurbishment with LED lighting throughout.
Gatwick Distribution Centre commands a prominent position fronting Gatwick Road. The site is located within the Manor Royal Business District – the biggest business park within the Gatwick Diamond area and one of the South East’s premier mixed activity employment hubs.
Benefitting from excellent transport links, strategically located just one mile south of Gatwick Airport and the M23, as well as excellent bus and rail links, Manor Royal has attracted a wide range of national, international and logistics companies including Amazon, Boeing, Royal Mail. EVRi, Ocado, Tesco and Thales.
