Hillwood and Goya Launch Reading’s first industrial and warehouse scheme of 2026

Hillwood and Goya Developments have kicked off 2026 with the launch of Hurricane Urban Hub, the first industrial logistics scheme to be released in the central Thames Valley this year.

Located in Woodley, Reading and close to Junction 10 of the M4, the scheme comprises 186,496 sq ft in ten high-specification buildings offering flexible accommodation from 10,615 sq ft to 47,960 sq ft.

Hurricane Urban Hub is designed to meet the needs of modern occupiers seeking sustainability, efficiency and accessibility in one of the South East’s best-connected logistics locations.

Built to a high specification, each building features fitted offices, shower facilities, and electric level access loading doors, alongside 8.5m clear internal height, healthy three-phase power supplies and 50KN/m2 floor loading and two detached units boasting secure yards.

The project delivered BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and an EPC A+ ratings, incorporating extensive renewable and low-carbon technologies such as roof-mounted solar PV panels, air and ground-source heat pumps, and electric vehicle charging points.

Harry Bevins, a partner at joint agents, Haslams Surveyors said: “Hurricane Urban Hub is coming to the market at an opportune time. With local supply having been constrained for so long, there has been a real need for high quality new-build stock, and Hurricane Urban Hub is first multi-let scheme out the gates, leading the roll out of new Reading industrial schemes coming to the market in 2026-27.

“The scheme couldn’t be better designed, as it meets the strong desire amongst occupants for attractive client-facing warehousing with sustainable and green credentials, best-in-class specification and close connectivity to the UK’s major road network via J10 if the M4. Nestled amongst a range of local amenities and a skilled local workforce, we expect Hurricane Urban Hub to be in high demand and look forward to welcoming a range of new tenants in the coming months.”

Joint letting agents are Haslams Surveyors, DTRE and Hollis Hockley.
