Benniman completes £48m logistics development for Logicor in Daventry

Benniman has successfully delivered 800,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art logistics space for Logicor, a leading owner, manager, and developer of European logistics real estate.

The £48 million project comprises three high-specification units,  385,000 sq ft, 290,000 sq ft and 125,000 sq ft, located at Logicor Park Daventry in the heart of the UK’s logistics Golden Triangle.

Each unit has been built to the highest sustainability standards, achieving BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings. It is Logicor’s largest UK development to date.

Steve Smith, managing director of Benniman, said: “We are proud to have delivered this landmark logistics scheme for Logicor. Completing a project of this scale in just 56 weeks is a testament to the expertise, commitment, and collaboration of our team.

“The sustainability credentials of Logicor Park Daventry further demonstrate our ability to deliver future-proofed developments that meet the evolving needs of the logistics sector.”

Benniman has integrated a range of energy-efficient and sustainable features at Logicor Park Daventry. They include solar photovoltaic installations for on-site renewable energy generation, EV charging points, and LED lighting throughout office and external areas. A new outdoor gym has been installed to support staff wellbeing.

In line with the project’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility, Benniman has enhanced the estate’s 2.2-acre woodland area, planting over 4,500 new trees and saplings, alongside native plant species. The contractor also partnered with local education providers to inspire the next generation of construction professionals.

The scheme, designed by Webb Gray architects, involved the demolition of an existing one million sq ft distribution centre. Full infrastructure/earthworks package, S278 works, retaining walls, site remediation and vertical build.

The project has been recognised for its outstanding construction standards, receiving a maximum score of 45 points from the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
