Delin Property Prepares Wakefield Europort Site for 490,000 sq.ft. Warehouse Development

15th November, 2023 (London) – Delin Property, the fully integrated European logistics
warehouse specialist, has started readying a 22.8-acre site in Wakefield Europort business
park for the development of a best in class 490,000 square foot cross dock facility in one of
West Yorkshire’s most in-demand distribution hubs.

Duncan Jarvis, Delin Property’s Head of Portfolio & Asset Managament, said: “Switch
Wakefield is a signature project for us, showcasing all our strengths in value creation as an
owner, developer and manager of logistics warehouses. The building will provide a best in
class facility in Yorkshire’s premier logistics location. We’re very excited about a project that
will be one of the largest for the industrial sector in Northern England.”

Contractors are demolishing the existing 375,000 sq.ft. building, previously occupied by
DHL, and clearing the Whitwood Common Lane site. Reserved matters planning permission
is in place for the construction of a cross-docked logistics unit of 490,000 sq ft.

Switch Wakefield will be constructed to Net Zero Carbon standards, a BREEAM “Excellent”
rating and an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate with 2.5 MVA power supply. The
warehouse will have up to 56 dock level doors, eight level doors, and truck yards of 50
metres and 35 metres. Internally, the building will provide 15 metres clear height, and 22,500
sq.ft. of first class office space. The new facility will also provide parking for 62 trucks and
384 spaces for cars, including 79 EV charging spaces, as well as 110 covered cycle spaces.

Located next to junction 31 of the M62 motorway, Wakefield Europort’s excellent road links
to the rest of the UK have attracted high profile occupiers including Haribo, Royal Mail,
ASDA, Bibby and Warburtons. The park is less than one mile from Wakefield Rail Freight
Terminal, while the River Humber ports of Hull, Immingham, Grimsby and Goole are also
easily accessible.

CPP, Colliers and Knight Frank are the leasing agents for Switch Wakefield. The
development manager is Firethorn Trust.
