The first industrial phase of a 70 acre development in Dartford has been successfully completed, providing a cross dock logistics hub for tenants TNT. As the project was a pre-let, the offices and warehouse areas were fitted out to meet TNT’s requirements, and early access was granted to the warehouse for the installation of their mechanical handling equipment.

Sustainability initiatives include LED lighting with occupancy detection and daylight dimming controls, solar thermal hot water heating, air source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels, resulting in an EPC rating of A and a Very Good rating under BREEAM New Construction (Industrial) 2014. The renewables are expected to provide a 10% contribution to the regulated energy demand.
