St Francis Group<\/a> has broken ground and commenced construction of a new 113,000 sq ft speculative industrial unit in Walsall<\/h2>\n

Parallel 113 will create a Grade A warehouse\/industrial unit in Walsall which will provide up to 200 new jobs.<\/p>\n

The development will be built on a 2.5-hectare brownfield site close to Junction 10 of the M6.<\/a><\/p>\n

It will be available for occupation from January 2023.<\/p>\n

Shortage of warehouse\/industrial space across the Midlands<\/h3>\n

St Francis Group Development Director Gareth Williams said: “We are delighted to be on site with the construction of another high-quality unit, and to be developing in such a prominent location adjoining the M6 motorway.<\/p>\n

“There remains a distinct shortage of warehouse\/industrial space across the Midlands and now that we have started on site, we expect a high level of interest from potential occupiers.<\/p>\n

The industrial unit will be well connected from junction 9<\/h3>\n

“The new unit will be extremely well connected being just under a mile from junction 9 of the M6, offering unrivalled connectivity and built to a high specification.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to watching construction as it happens and seeing the progress on site.”<\/p>\n

MCS Construction has been appointed as the main building contractor.<\/p>\n

Remediating brownfield sites<\/h3>\n

MCS group managing director, Keir Edmonds said: “MCS are pleased to continue their partnership with St Francis Group to deliver premium industrial space in the West Midlands.<\/p>\n

“The project demonstrates how brownfield sites can be remediated utilising ground improvement techniques and put back into use, whilst retaining and enhancing the local environment and ecology.”<\/p>\n
