Summary
Estates Gazette reports that Cadent, the UK gas distribution network, will move into one of the largest office and warehouse spaces built in Wolverhampton in recent years. Per the company's announcement, the arrangement is a 20-year lease on a facility of about 25,000 sq ft, which will serve as a new regional hub for the West Midlands. Cadent's current regional hub is located in Wednesfield.
The headline frames the move as a consolidation into a Prologis hub in Birmingham. Coverage of Prologis's Hams Hall park, a multi-modal site near Junction 9 of the M42, reports that the park is now 100% occupied following a deal with Top Cloud, which joins existing occupiers JLR, DHL and DP World. These reports are undated in the material available. A separate CoStar item reported outline planning consent for an 887,000 sq ft manufacturing and distribution development at Hams Hall in October 2017. That predates this story and is not connected to the Cadent move.
Details on lease economics, the precise location of the new site, and the relocation timetable were not available in the sources retrieved. Readers should consult the original Estates Gazette report for confirmation of these terms.
