Mercia Real Estate have started work on the redevelopment of an industrial park in Wednesbury. A detailed planning application for GWS trading estate in Leabrook Road, Wednesbury was approved last year.

The project will see the demolition of exisiting buildings and construction of a new 6,100 sq m commercial unit. The Property will comprise a single Grade A distribution warehouse totalling 65,000 sq ft, incorporating ground and first floor ancillary office accommodation.

Samuel Clark, CEO of Mercia Real Estate said “The commencement of the construction of this building in a prime black country location is testament to our confidence in the local market where there remains a lack of new build accommodation. When this building completes in December this year we expect it to be one of only a handful of new mid-box buildings available across the whole of the black county where there remains significant demand from local occupiers.”
