G. Park Sittingbourne, located close to the M2 in Kent, is part of a Joint Venture between Gazeley and Standard Life Investment Funds Limited. The two companies have already secured outline planning permission for 1.8 million sq ft of warehouse and distribution space at the site in Kent, but the development for Morrisons will be the first unit to begin construction at the park.
“We selected this site primarily because of its strategic location and close links to the South East motorway network but also because of the unbeatable environmental credentials which Gazeley has been able to offer. The environmental agenda and CSR are key considerations for our business going forward and this was an important factor in our decision to choose this site to develop our next warehouse and distribution centre. This major new facility will enable us to better service our growing business. As one of the UK’s top four supermarket chains it is important that we continually develop our infrastructure to enable us to continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers." James Brook, Development Surveyor at Morrisons
