McLaren Construction (Midlands & North) has been appointed by Panattoni to deliver a major new industrial and logistics facility at Panattoni Park Swindon, marking the company’s first scheme with the developer in the South West region.
The design and build contract set to complete in January 2026, will see McLaren deliver Unit 4, a 545,414 sq. ft state of the art warehouse and distribution facility at the former Honda site in Swindon.
The project is already well underway with the steel works completed and roofing and cladding progressing well. The scheme will include two storeys of office accommodation and a decked car park, along with all associated site and external works including roads, service yards, car parking, hard and soft landscaping, drainage and building services.
Set to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC A+ (offices) / A (warehouse) ratings, the scheme will target net zero carbon for upfront carbon emissions, with a performance goal of under 300kgCO?/m².
Historically, the site was used as brownfield land before being an airfield during World War II, and then later it was redeveloped for car manufacturing by Honda in the late 20th century. This regeneration is part of Panattoni’s wider plan to bring new life and jobs to the area following the closure of Honda’s operations in 2021.
The project team comprises UMC Architects as the architect, KAM Project Consultants as the quantity surveyor, and BWB Consulting as the structural and civil engineer. Construction CDM Services is appointed as the principal designer, with C3 Design Approvals overseeing building control.
