A THIRD occupier has been signed up for the giant Omega development site at Warrington.
Builders’ merchants Travis Perkins have agreed to take a 700,000 sq ft logistics centre on Omega North – subject to planning permission.
The announcement comes just over a week after Hermes was announced as the second occupier for Omega North following the December announcement about Brakes as the first.
Andrew Sutherland, joint Managing Director of Miller Developments, a partner of Omega Warrington Ltd (OWL)said: “The level of occupier success we have achieved at Omega North since Christmas is unprecedented throughout not only the North West but the whole of the UK.
“The fact that, subject to planning being granted, we have only two small sites left on Omega North demonstrates that we have now created a major logistics hub in the North West.”
The two sites left on Omega North are 2.9 acres close to junction 8 on the M62 motorway frontage, and 3.2 acres next to Brakes.
Both sites are capable of meeting requirements for 50,000 sq ft of logistics accommodation.
If planning consent is granted, OWL will be building Travis Perkins a freehold “turn-key” unit of 630,000 sq ft on the ground floor with 70,000sq ft at mezzanine level.
Work is expected to start around the middle of the year, with completion around the middle of next year.
