Commercial agents at Harris Lamb have been instructed on a brand-new development of eight logistics and manufacturing units in South Birmingham.
Developed by Canmoor, Urban8 is a high-tech urban logistics and manufacturing hub, comprising of eight units totalling c400,000sqft, located in Kings Norton.
Constructed to BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A standards with roof mounted solar PV panels, electric vehicle charging spaces and cycle storage, the business park offers the latest ESG amenities as standard, as well as a 5MVA power supply across the Estate, 50 KN per sqm floor loading and 24/7 access.
Neil Slade, of Harris Lamb’s Agency team, said: “This is a superb mid-box development designed to offer the range, scale, efficiencies and sustainability features that the modern market demands.
“With opportunities at Urban8 ranging from 26,000sqft to 70,000sqft and a combination of, each building offers fitted headquarters offices, dock and level access doors and up to 12.5m eaves height.
“These self-contained units offer extensive parking and secure service yards of up to 45m, and can be combined to create a floor plate of over 90,000sqft on a single plot,” he said.
The Estate is well located to the south of Birmingham City Centre just four miles from the UK motorway network via Junction 2 of the M42, while Birmingham City Centre lies less than seven miles away and Kings Norton Station, which offers regular train services to Birmingham New Street, is within walking distance
“It’s convenient location, future proofed design and high-specification facilities make Urban8 a first-class logistics solution, with the scheme expected to benefit from the lack of comparable supply in key local markets including Solihull, the M42 corridor and North Worcestershire” Neil added.

DTRE and Newmark have been appointed as joint agents for the scheme.
