Peel Logistics Property is pleased to announce it has signed a pre-let with UK retailer John Lewis to develop a 46,000 sq ft .com customer delivery hub at its urban logistics development known as South Central in Nursling, Southampton. 

The new build-to-suit facility will provide John Lewis with additional capacity to service the City of Southampton and wider south coast region.

This is the first leasing deal signed at South Central, which comprises three facilities totalling 202,000 sq ft. John Lewis’ facility will be completed by September 2018. Construction of the two other facilities (117,000 sq ft and 39,000 sq ft) is underway on a speculative basis and they are expected to be completed by May 2018.

Neil Dickinson, of Peel Logistics Property, said, “This leasing deal with John Lewis is another example of Peel Logistics Property’s capability in delivering high quality urban logistics facilities for leading UK occupiers. We look forward to welcoming other tenants to South Central as construction progresses.”
