Caddick Tops Out At Trafford Distribution Facility

Caddick is celebrating a milestone in the delivery of a 42,594 sq. ft speculative industrial and logistics development, Ark 42 at Trafford Park Road, with the steel frame structure now complete.

Appointed by Trebor Developments, on behalf of The Prudential Assurance Company and M&G Real Estate, Caddick is delivering a BREEAM Excellent two-storey development, due for occupancy in Spring 2025.

As building work progresses, Caddick will now move on to the roofing and cladding to create a 34,670 sq. ft warehouse with 10m eaves. Work also includes the construction of two storeys of Cat A office space occupying 7,923 sq. ft of the building, and parking provision with EV charging.

The project adds to Caddick’s growing portfolio of projects across Trafford, which also includes Bruntwood and Trafford Council’s transformation of Stretford Mall and Glenbrook’s new £45m 199-home high-rise development, Lumina Village, at the 12-acre former Kellogg’s site in Trafford Park.

Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North West, commented:

“As our pipeline of projects in the Trafford area continues to develop, taking a step back to celebrate this milestone at Trafford Park gives us the opportunity to reflect on the brilliant work taking place in Manchester. It’s thanks to our dedicated team and high-quality supply chain that we are able to deliver Ark 42 to programme for our valued client, Trebor Developments, and we look forward to seeing this build come to life in the New Year.” Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North West

In 2024, 63% of Caddick’s supply chain use in the North West was within a 30 mile radius of its developments. To help deliver its growing pipeline of projects in the Trafford area Caddick has appointed a local supply chain across Trafford and Greater Manchester, including environmental consultancy E3P, and earthworks contractor, W Maher.

Mark Wright, Partner of Trebor Developments commented:

“It’s great to see construction of our Ark 42 scheme progressing very well. With the steel frame now complete, the building enjoys an excellent profile on this prominent site. The Caddick team are delivering to high quality and we look forward to the next phase of the works. Ark 42 is a rare opportunity in Trafford Park to see a new high quality, speculative B2/B8 building having first class environmental credentials.” Mark Wright, Partner of Trebor Developments
