SEGRO believes the pace at which the unit was leased is an example of the strong demand for well located and sustainable space in an "era where the need for efficient logistics has never been greater".
James Craddock, business unit director for Thames Valley, SEGRO, said: “The speed of this deal – especially during these unprecedented times - is testament to the pressing demand from logistics operators looking for high quality space that is located close to population centers and with direct access to key transport routes, like the M4 and M3 motorways.
“We’re proud that we’ve leased all three speculative units and continued to bring commerce to the Bracknell region and look forward to delivering the remaining design and build opportunities.”

In addition to the speculative developments, there are two further plots that offer the flexibility for design and build projects totalling over 200,000 sq ft of additional warehouse space.
SEGRO Park Bracknell is located adjacent to buildings occupied by world-class businesses Boehringer Ingelheim, a world leading pharmaceutical company, and Fujitsu, a leading provider of IT products and services.
