Work is underway on a new 19,824 sq ft industrial scheme which will provide vital small commercial unit space in Exhall.
Deeley Construction has started work on the £2.9 million industrial scheme which will see the creation of five commercial units, ranging from 3,500 sq ft to 5,500 sq ft.
The brownfield development at the junction of Brindley Road and Bayton Road in Exhall is on the site of former industrial land, with the former site featuring buildings the 1960s and 70s.
Demolition of the original buildings, which were used for storage, manufacturing and as a car dealership, have now been completed and the new units are expected to be completed in Spring 2026.
The light industrial scheme will be built to a high sustainability standard and is designed to achieve a BREEAM Very Good rating, with the inclusion of photovoltaic panels (PVs) and battery storage to generate and retain renewable energy for the businesses to use.
Materials from the demolished buildings, such as concrete, tarmac and bricks, will be used for piling mats on site to further reduce wastage.
The development will also include 10 electric vehicle charging points and a sustainable drainage system to store rainwater and disperse it without flooding surrounding areas.
Matthew Lynch, Commercial Director at Deeley Construction, said: “We’re proud to be bringing this brownfield site back into use, and building important units to meet the demand for small industrial space in Coventry and surrounding areas.
“The scheme is on the established Bayton Road Estate and will add to the already strong business community in the area.
“Working with our partners, we will be creating high-quality and energy-efficient space which is fit for modern occupiers, as well as including a range of sustainable features.”
Deeley Construction is working with AJA Architects as the architect for the project, Starkey Button & Co as the employer’s agent and Mucklow & Harris Ltd for engineering services.
The new units will be marketed by commercial property consultants ehB Reeves.
The new units are aimed at manufacturing, logistics and trade counter businesses, providing modern, flexible and energy-efficient space in a well-connected location.
Phil Harvey, Management Surveyor at ehB Reeves, said: “We are excited to be involved in this new development scheme. Brindley Court will be a development of five units constructed to a high quality and energy efficient specification now demanded by many occupiers.
“The units, which are located in a prominent location off the main estate road, will be marketed to let with occupation available in the middle of 2026.
“We anticipate strong demand for the units on a pre-let basis.”
