Stephen George + Partners (SGP) is delighted to announce the completion of 21 single-storey industrial units at Blackbird Industrial Park in Leicester, formerly Leicester City Council housing depot. Working for client Brackley Property Developments Ltd Development, SGP has transformed the unused site into a hub for small to medium-sized light industrial businesses, with four buildings, car parking, servicing areas, cycle storage, and associated landscaping.
The new units are of varying sizes, from 70 sqm to 232 sqm, offering flexibility for a range of businesses, and particularly aiming to address the demand for high-quality commercial employment workspace for start-up and growing businesses in the city.
Sustainability is an important aspect of the development. The scheme will deliver a biodiversity net gain of 57.5% through enhancing the existing mixed scrub, which can support a range of wildlife including birds, small mammals and invertebrates, and developing new green spaces with neutral grassland and wildflower meadow.
