As the third development we have delivered to date for Baytree we are proud to be a trusted delivery partner and to now include this cutting-edge, technology-driven sustainable development into our ever-expanding I&L project portfolio.
Once again I would like to take my hat off to the exceptional team and partners that worked on this project and we look forward to working with Baytree again very soon”
Also Commenting Glencar Director of ESG James Scott, said: “It has been an honour to contribute to the design and development of Phase 1 of this scheme and to deliver two of the first BREEAM Outstanding warehouses built speculatively in Leeds.
It’s also fantastic to see the ‘Baytree Edge – Innovation at work’ concept once again in evidence and the rich array of technology-enabled efficiencies, flexibility by design, health and wellbeing and clear air, water, soil and energy features. As leaders in this space, Baytree allows us all to get ahead of regulation and future-proof our customers’ businesses.”.
Casey Ferguson, development manager at Baytree, said “We are proud to announce the practical completion of phase 1 at Baytree Leeds, our latest best-in-class logistics scheme. This development marks a significant milestone as the first BREEAM Outstanding speculative development in the north of England, setting a new benchmark in ESG for the region. The scheme also provides some much-needed speculative development in a prime Leeds location just 1 mile (1.6km) from both the M1 and M621 junctions. Given the location and leading-edge specification, we are confident this will attract a lot of interest from our customers.”
Baytree Leeds has a strategic significance due to its proximity to Junction 7 of the M621 motorway, located immediately to the northwest which links into the M62 for destinations north and west, and to the M1 motorway heading south. The A639 trunk road provides a link through to Junction 44 of the M1 motorway approximately half a mile to the east.
The M1 motorway (north) provides links through to North Yorkshire and the North East of England. Major occupiers close by include Royal Rail, Sheffield Insulation Group, Tuffnells Express Parcels, ARLA Foods, CEMEX, Kloeckner Metals, Steaper Group and First Direct. The Leeds Rail Freight Terminal lies immediately to the north of the site and a purpose-built Royal Mail depot is immediately to the east.
