SEGRO has set a new benchmark for sustainable development by completing the transformation of two cutting-edge warehouse units at SEGRO Park Croydon Purley Way.
Sustainability is at the heart of the 76,103 sq ft scheme. The refurbished units are targeting net-zero carbon in operation and a coveted BREEAM Outstanding rating, and have achieved an EPC A+ grade, underscoring the company’s unwavering Responsible SEGRO commitment to Champion low-carbon growth.
In addition, more than 90 per cent of the waste generated through the construction process has been recycled or reused, with less than 10 per cent going to landfill. The units have also been designed to let in maximum natural light from the roof lights and large windows in the office areas, creating better work area visibility and helping lower energy usage.
As part of the scheme, SEGRO has extensively landscaped the development with green spaces to attract pollinating insects and support local biodiversity. These also provide quiet, break-out sessions to support the morale and wellbeing of employees working at the development.
Bonnie Minshull, Head of London at SEGRO, said: “We are particularly proud of the refurbishment of SEGRO Park Croydon Purley Way and how we are leading the way in London when it comes to the sustainable redevelopment of industrial and logistics space. Globally, there are very few registered BREEAM Outstanding rated industrial refurbishment and fitout projects. These include, Unit 2 Origin Business Park, Unit 17 Premier Park and Unit 2 Auriol Drive – all part our London portfolio.
“We know there is occupier demand for high quality, modern, sustainable and well-located space, which is why we have set the bar high for our refurbishment programme. Together we can help our customers to reduce their costs and achieve their own sustainability ambitions, building a greener future for all.”
SEGRO Park Croydon Purley Way is located in the most connected industrial area in south London, with Croydon boasting six tram and mainline stations within easy reach, enabling occupiers to reach their customers efficiently.
