Industrial developer Rockhaven Developments has begun construction on a speculative second phase of production/distribution units at Cabot Park in Avonmouth to meet the strong demand for small format units. It has appointed Alder King and Avison Young as agents on this latest phase.

The Rockhaven scheme is being built on a 3.78-acre employment site at Cabot Park. It will provide 23 units in three terraces, ranging in size from 1,500 to 4,500 sq ft, together with one larger detached unit of 17,000 sq ft with a secure yard. Units will be available to let or purchase individually or combined, with delivery scheduled for Q2 2024.

Emma Smith, partner at Alder King said: “Sub-5,000 sq ft units are currently the most sought-after with their provision over the last three years having been neglected. The scheme will help address this long-standing shortage of modern, well-located and well-specified space within this size range.

“Rockhaven Developments has a strong reputation for the quality of its build and we’re confident there’ll once again be a very positive reaction to its latest scheme.”

The first Rockhaven scheme at Cabot Park in 2017-18 delivered two larger format buildings which are now occupied by Fire Suppression and Arnold Laver Timber.
