Luddon commence new Co-op Unit, Newhouse

Luddon Construction have started on site to deliver a circa £8m 47,585 sqft warehouse for Tulchan Developments in joint venture with landowner Fusion Assets. The unit is pre-let to Co-op Group and will provide specialist de-kit facilities. This new warehouse is located adjacent to the Co-op’s existing  Glasgow distribution facility just off the M8 from which they service around 600 food stores throughout Scotland.

The construction of the project is undertaken in conjunction with the design team consisting of Avison Young as Project Manager, UMC Architects, DSSR as MEP and BREEAM Consultants, Goodson Associates as Structural Engineer and CBA as Cost Consultant.

The works involve the construction of a single storey warehouse unit with ground floor office and welfare accommodation. The external site works provide car parking, hard standings including HGV parking, washing and fuelling on 7 acres of land adjacent to Glasgow and Edinburgh Road, Newhouse. The brownfield site was prepared by Fusion Assets with a package of enabling works funded by the Scottish Government through the North Lanarkshire Vacant and Derelict Land Programme, sold on to Tulchan and their funders to facilitate this development.

Works are progressing on programme with earthworks, vibro piling, drainage and car park works commenced.

David Young, Director at Tulchan Developments, said: "We are pleased to have worked with Fusion Assets to bring forward this development. This is the second unit we’ve delivered for occupier Co-op whose commitment to and investment in Newhouse is key to their overall logistics network in Scotland."

The project began in December 2021 and will be handed over by Tulchan to occupier Co-op in October this year.
