Winvic Construction, a multidisciplinary contractor, has been selected by IM Properties, a property development and investment company, to begin work on a major new employment park, Towcester Park, located in Northamptonshire, UK.
The development is anticipated to provide 1,500 jobs when fully occupied, alongside skills and training opportunities for local residents, supported by a dedicated community fund of £100,000 ($135,260).
Northampton-based Winvic engages in the design and construction of both private- and public sector projects.
Winvic managing director of Industrial, Distribution & Logistics Danny Nelson said: “We’re proud to continue our longstanding partnership with IM Properties and work together to deliver the first stages of this high-quality employment space with industry-leading sustainability credentials.”
Towcester Park will offer a mix of sustainable employment spaces designed to achieve energy performance certificate A and Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method Excellent ratings.
The park will span 1.1 million square feet and include 15 acres of green space, amenity land, and enhanced landscaping.
IM Properties is also introducing its ‘Kick Start’ scheme to assist businesses in scaling up, with plans for units ranging from 13,500ft² to 22,000ft².
To cater to larger operators or businesses looking to relocate to the region, Towcester Park will offer warehouse space of up to 470,000ft². These buildings are set to include features such as roof terraces, contemporary reception areas, and modern working environments.
Additionally, the park will be equipped with electric vehicle charging facilities and aims to achieve ‘Net Zero Ready’ status, aligning with the transition to net-zero operations for occupiers.
IM Properties development director Richard Sykes said: “Winvic is a trusted and valued member of our supply chain who understands our ambitions to deliver legacy projects and work in partnership with the community. They have successfully delivered several of our previous schemes and will work closely with our team to help shape the first stages of this strategically important development.
“Working closely with local educational institutions and training providers, IMP aims to introduce apprenticeship schemes, vocational training programmes and career pathways within the logistics and industrial sectors.”
Last month, Winvic Construction also announced its plans to develop a new purpose-built student accommodation scheme in Coventry, UK, for its client Gilltown, further expanding its portfolio of construction projects.
