Specialist logistics developer Padrock has let a 17,700 sq ft unit at its £95m, Grade A Dagenham Logistics Hub development on an eight-year lease to destination tool trade retailer ITS.
According to ITS, the new two-floor outlet, which is due to open in April, will be London’s largest tool superstore and provides the business with a new flagship trade counter and warehouse facility.
Dagenham Logistics Hub is strategically located between the A12 and A13 East London arterial roads while Dagenham East Underground station is 0.6 miles away. The development comprises 14 new leasehold industrial and warehouse units ranging from 6,550 sq ft to 34,825 sq ft.
Harlow-headquartered ITS said it chose the site due to its best-in-class specification and strong sustainability credentials, with the scheme’s future-proofed design a key consideration.
All the units at the development have BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A+’ ratings and feature photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points and low air permeability design.
Established in 1979, ITS offers more than 29,000 products with a next-day delivery service from its Harlow, Walthamstow, Chelmsford, Dagenham and Luton superstores, with the latter due to open in the next two weeks.
Elliott Williams, Spokesperson for ITS, said: “The opening of our Dagenham superstore marks a major milestone for ITS and underlines our continued investment in London and the wider region.
“At 17,700 sq ft, this destination branch will give trade professionals and DIY customers access to an unrivalled product range, increased stock availability and a purpose-built trade counter designed to deliver a truly first-class retail experience.
