In 2020, we acquired a 49-acre site strategically location at Junction 8 M20 in Maidstone, as part of an existing multi-let logistics development portfolio.

Phase one of the development, completed in May 2023 comprised of 245,000 sq ft across 11 units with Phase two offering a further 7 units across 185,200 sq ft. 

As industrial occupiers demand has shifted in recent years to more sustainability focussed buildings, LOC8 offers a high specification with extensive solar panels and EV charging points throughout and EPC A & A+ (which means some units produce more power than they consume). Phase 1 of the site is BREEAM “Very Good”, with Phase 2 targeting BREEAM “Excellent”. The site also provides for a biodiversity net gain of 10% with 12 acres of new wildlife habitat, including nearly 12,000 new trees and four wildlife ponds. Finally, a new electric bus service to Maidstone town centre and cycle lane have also been created as part of wider efforts to reduce car usage, support the community, and provide access for local workers.
