en.Wedoany.com Reported - North Lanarkshire Council has granted planning permission for the Eurocentral Gateway development at the Eurocentral business park in Motherwell, creating new industrial and logistics space.
Developers Manse LLP and J. Smart (Contractors) Plc obtained the planning permission, with Porter Planning acting as planning consultant. The project will deliver two industrial and logistics units totaling approximately 200,000 sq ft, with strong tenant demand in this key Scottish distribution area. Construction is expected to commence in autumn, with practical completion anticipated next autumn. The two buildings, approximately 80,000 sq ft and 120,000 sq ft respectively, will be built with sustainability in mind and feature large yards. Specific configurations include large yards, ample power supply, offices, electric vehicle charging points, energy monitoring systems, and photovoltaic panels. Located at the eastern entrance to Eurocentral, the development offers direct access to the M8 motorway. The 650-acre Eurocentral business park is served by Scotland's first Channel Tunnel rail freight terminal and is within easy reach of four major seaports.
With remaining vacancy rates along the M8 corridor at approximately 2.5%, the planning permission is expected to attract tenant interest. Joint leasing agents CBRE and Colliers are encouraging businesses to explore pre-let opportunities before construction begins. Craig Semple, Director at CBRE Scotland, noted that the planning permission for Eurocentral Gateway represents a significant step for the Central Belt industrial market, with demand for high-quality, well-configured industrial space remaining strong and supply still tight, making the construction of two such quality new buildings in one of Scotland's most accessible locations certain to generate tenant interest. Iain Davidson, Director of the Industrial and Logistics team at Colliers, stated that the project's configuration is among the strongest seen along the M8 corridor, offering tenants a locational advantage unmatched elsewhere in Scotland, and expects strong tenant interest, urging interested businesses to engage early to avoid missing out.
