We have been working with leading developer, Network Space, since 2017. Together we have designed and delivered industrial workplace solutions across the North of England. These have ranged from bespoke new build developments to innovative business parks and complex refurbishments.

Network Space is a major developer in the industrial sector. Their vision is “to provide the best and most complete solution for industrial workspace,” and for the past seven years, we have been helping them achieve this.

Their mission is to deliver bespoke, comprehensive workplace solutions that generate sustainable long-term value. Since our first commission together, we have collaboratively to design and develop employment spaces across the North West, in locations including Liverpool, Stockport, and Salford. With each new commission, we have been challenged to meet ever-increasing sustainability standards.

Our first commission was Raven Locks in Salford, where we developed proposals for a new industrial development on a 14-acre brownfield site. Our successful work on this project led to subsequent commissions in Speke, Liverpool, and the delivery of the pioneering glass research and development facility in St Helens.

More recently, we have been tasked with the development of a hybrid part-new-build, part-refurbishment commission in Altrincham, as well as an innovative Eco Business Park in Cheadle, Stockport.

Throughout these projects, we have collaborated with Network Space, end users, market specialists, neighbours, and local authorities to ensure our designs meet wide-ranging stakeholder and market requirements.

We’ve also played a key role in helping Network Space, evolve their typical designs and have helped guide them through changing market and sustainability requirements with the support of our industrial experts and in-house Sustainability Team.

In 2021, we completed our first project for Network Space, the speculative development Raven Locks in Salford. This project comprises six warehouse units – three detached and self-contained, ranging from 29,500 sq ft to 61,000 sq ft, along with a terrace of three units ranging from 11,000 to 19,000 sq ft. Totaling 173,000 sq ft of high-quality warehouse space, the development offers secure yards, dedicated parking, office accommodation, and amenities. Upon sale to Mileway, it was fully let.

At Triumph Business Park, Speke, a 60-acre estate near Liverpool John Lennon Airport, we designed a speculative industrial scheme, Spitfire Court. Comprising 12 Grade A units from 3,000 to 34,000 sq ft, the sustainable development features EV charging, LED lighting, and is zero-carbon ready, it completed in 2022.Our most high-profile project has been the multi-award-winning Glass Futures in St Helens: a 165,000 sq ft global centre of excellence for the glass industry. The bespoke facility accommodates furnaces, container and float glass production lines, plus offices, training, and laboratories, designed for flexibility and growth following in-depth discussions with the client.
