Construction work has begun to transform a vacant eight-acre brownfield site into 206,000 sq ft of modern industrial and office units. 

The redevelopment of the Vauxhall Industrial Estate in Reddish will see up to 28 new buildings created across six blocks, and will create around 700 new jobs. 

The new site will also have strong green credentials, with 56 electric vehicle charging points, rooftop solar panels, and an 'A' energy rating. 

Foundation works have been completed and the installation of steel frames and cladding is now under way for each block.

The units are scheduled to be available for lease from the second quarter of 2024. 

RECOM Solutions is managing the project on behalf of real estate developer Western UK Property Group (WUKPG)

RECOM director Jason McKnight said he was 'thrilled' with progress thus far. 

He added: "We have been involved in the scheme from its conception and are excited to be supporting it through to completion."

WUKPG director Oliver Lipson said: "While we've seen a significant number of new-build institutional big box sheds for the logistics sector, delivered across the UK, there's a growing demand for smaller, efficient, modern industrial units for SMEs, including fulfilment, e-commerce and last-mile business to multinational trade counter retailers.

"This scheme should prove to be a strong income-producing asset with a gross development value of £40 million, to be held for long-term investment in our property portfolio.

"Vauxhall Trading Estate is positioned in a strong location for Stockport, a major town with continued public and private investment across infrastructure and all real estate asset classes."
