A flagship industrial development in Lancashire, Farington Park is a jewel in the crown of our industrial portfolio.
The 544,000 sq ft BREEAM Excellent logistics scheme was delivered in partnership with Caddick Developments and features high-quality industrial space, including a bespoke national distribution centre for Victorian Plumbing. With a strong focus on sustainability, local employment and seamless project delivery, Farington Park showcases our integrated approach to development, construction and fit-out.
Brought forward through a funding deal with Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Canmoor, Farington Park is a 544,000 sq ft prime logistics scheme that we proudly delivered alongside our colleagues at Caddick Developments. Located just minutes from the M6 motorway near Leyland in Lancashire, Farington Park reflects the strength of our integrated Caddick Group model. From land acquisition through to planning, construction and occupation, our seamless partnership ensured the timely and efficient delivery of a development that is tailored for modern logistics and manufacturing occupiers.

Sustainability was a core focus at Farington Park, with the project achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating. We incorporated a wide range of environmental features, including rainwater harvesting systems, EV charging points and energy-efficient LED lighting. We also achieved a 20% Biodiversity Net Gain, which saw our team de-culvert a river to create wetland habitats while planting over 1,500 native trees and installing bird and bat boxes, all of which supports local wildlife. The project also included a £500,000 investment to complete a section of the Leyland Loop cycleway.

We continue to champion the future construction workforce, and at Farington Park we worked closely with local colleges and training providers to deliver on-site apprenticeship opportunities across a range of trades. Over the course of the project, 12 apprentices gained valuable hands-on experience, working alongside our team and contributing meaningfully to the project. This reflects our long-term commitment to outcome-driven social value.

In addition to the base build, our role at Farington Park also included the fit-out for Victorian Plumbing’s new national distribution centre, enabling the retailer to enhance its operational efficiency and meet growing demand. Delivered to a bespoke specification, our fit-out of the high-bay facility included extensive office space, mechanical and electrical installations, warehouse lighting, large scale air handling units, dock levelers, smoke alarm systems, integrated sprinkler systems, welfare facilities and a two-storey mezzanine. Our ability to coordinate the fit-out alongside the base build ensured a smooth and accelerated transition for Victorian Plumbing.

“Our Group structure means that we can work seamlessly with our construction division, giving us the ability to react quickly to both investor and occupier demand in unlocking the full potential of challenging sites.”
