In response to the new challenges facing retail, residential & logistics we have analysed different Strategic Industrial Land (SIL) types from multiple points of view, to gauge the practical, contextual and commercial potential for new multi-use combinations.
As a result of this research we are now delivering new templates for industrial intensification that combine logistics solutions with new uses and co-locations such as residential units, retail and recreational and cultural and social spaces.
Our current pure logistics work includes delivering projects where space is increased by layering multi-level warehouses above and below ground, and refurbishing old industrial heritage buildings to bring them back to life for modern day logistics and industrial use.
We are also exploring new approaches to logistics consolidation from national and regional to last-mile city centre.
