(IN BRIEF) Logicor has completed the Derby 507 logistics and manufacturing facility in the East Midlands, a 508,003 sq ft development that is expected to create up to 1,000 jobs and bolster the local economy. Strategically located in Infinity Park Derby near major manufacturers such as Rolls Royce, Toyota, JCB, Alstom, and Nestle, the site offers excellent connectivity via Junction 3 of the A50, enabling HGV drivers to reach 40 million people within 4 hours. The facility features high ceilings, a deep gated yard, a substantial power supply, and modern Grade A offices, while also achieving outstanding sustainability credentials with a BREEAM Excellent rating and an EPC A+ score. Enhanced by secure cycle spaces, EV charging stations, and solar installations, Derby 507 reinforces Logicor’s commitment to creating premium logistics spaces. This development, which follows the company’s record-breaking 800,000 sq ft site in Daventry earlier this year, underscores Logicor’s focus on supporting local economies and the growth of business infrastructures, as well as the future potential of the Infinity Park Derby scheme as a key investment zone under EMCCA.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 28-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Logicor, a prominent owner, manager, and developer of European logistics real estate, has successfully wrapped up construction on its latest project, Derby 507, in the East Midlands. This impressive 508,003 sq ft facility is set to generate up to 1,000 new jobs for the local workforce, significantly contributing to the regional economy. Located within Infinity Park Derby, Derby 507 benefits from its strategic position amid major manufacturers such as Rolls Royce, Toyota, JCB, Alstom, and Nestle, with convenient access via Junction 3 of the A50—an ideal route that allows HGV drivers to connect with 40 million people within a four-hour drive.

The state-of-the-art logistics and manufacturing site is designed to meet the highest industry standards. It boasts an 18-metre high ceiling, a spacious 55-metre deep gated yard, and a robust 2.73 MVA power supply. Complementing these features are modern Grade A offices that are tailored to support efficient business operations, ensuring that tenants benefit from a fully integrated and optimized working environment. Sustainability is at the forefront of the project, as evidenced by its BREEAM Excellent rating and a remarkable EPC A+ score. Additionally, the facility incorporates 30 secure cycle spaces, multiple EV charging stations, and solar installations to harness renewable energy and reduce operational costs.

Charlie Howard, Logicor’s UK Managing Director, emphasized, “We are focused on creating high-quality logistics spaces that support local economies and enhance the logistics infrastructure across the UK. This development will provide significant employment opportunities while facilitating growth for businesses in the region.” Christopher Tebbs, Inward Investment Executive at Marketing Derby, added that Logicor’s investment in the Derby 507 scheme demonstrates strong confidence in Derby from a major global investor and highlights the potential of the Infinity Park Derby area to become one of the region’s new Investment Zones under the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).

This achievement comes on the heels of a landmark milestone for Logicor in 2025. In January, the company completed its largest UK development to date—an 800,000 sq ft logistics site in Daventry. As Logicor continues to expand its portfolio, the Infinity Park Derby facility stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge logistics warehouses that not only meet the evolving demands of modern businesses but also provide tangible benefits to the local community.
