Arrow Capital Partners, the specialist investor, is drawing up plans for a speculative logistics facility near junction 6 of the M61 motorway in Bolton, England.
The 30,472 m2 development, named Arrow Point Bolton, will be built on land acquired in 2020 for Arrow's €3 bn SIRE (Strategic Industrial Real Estate) joint venture with Cerberus.
The project will consist of two warehouse units: a 9,987 m2 unit (AP107) and a larger 20,462 m2 unit (AP220).
Both units will be built with sustainability in mind, including rooftop solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations. Arrow Point Bolton is targeting a BREEAM Excellent certification for sustainability and an EPC A rating for energy efficiency.
The development will boast a total power capacity of 4.1 MVA, high ceilings (18 meters), ample parking for trucks (82 HGV trailer spaces), and efficient loading and unloading capabilities (32 dock levellers and 5 level access doors). Pending planning approval, construction is expected to be completed in the latter half of 2025.
Rob Howe, head of European Real Estate at Arrow Capital Partners, commented: ‘Arrow Point Bolton will be a modern logistics development with enhanced sustainability measures in a highly desirable industrial location, reflective of our strategy to meet the sustained level of strong occupier demand for industrial space in the north west. This project also demonstrates our extensive investment strategy and development capabilities across the UK and Europe, as we continue to expand our portfolio with flexible logistics assets and development opportunities in prime locations.’
Arrow Point Bolton boasts a prime location for logistics operations thanks to its position within the key northwest distribution corridor. Direct access to junction 6 of the M61 motorway puts it near the M60, M6, and M62, offering excellent connections to the wider regional and national motorway network.
Furthermore, Arrow Point Bolton provides easy access to both Manchester International Airport and the Port of Liverpool, making it ideal for businesses that require international cargo movement.
TFT Consultants, PHP Architects, and Stantec will help Arrow Capital Partners in the development of Arrow Point Bolton, while the letting agent is B8 Real Estate.
