Greenbox warehouses set the standard

Over 400,000 sq.ft. of top-tier, sustainable, logistics and industrial space is now available in Darlington, thanks to specialist commercial developer Greenbox.

The development, on Tornado Way, is a joint venture by Partners Group and  Citivale, and comprises  three industrial units boasting EPC ‘A’ and BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rated facilities.

Using sustainable construction methods, innovative technologies, and sustainability initiatives, including the development of a green supply chain, the project is setting the standard for how the commercial real estate sector can help tackle the climate crisis and create a lasting positive impact.

Leader, Cllr Stephen Harker, and Deputy Leader Cllr Chris McEwan, attended a ceremony last week to mark   the completion of the innovative venture

Cllr Harker, said: “Darlington is quickly establishing itself as a great place to live, work or do business. The state-of-the-art facilities available at Greenbox are setting new benchmarks for sustainability in the logistics industry which will help to attract further investment to the town and will create more high-quality jobs for local people - strengthening our local economy as well as supporting our ambition to be carbon neutral by 2040.” 

James Appleton-Metcalfe, CEO at Citivale, commented: “Greenbox Darlington embodies our commitment to delivering sustainable, Grade A logistics space that meets the evolving needs of modern businesses. By targeting Net Zero Carbon in Construction and Operation, we have not only reduced emissions but also empowered our prospective occupiers to operate more sustainably from day one." 

Danny Nelson, Managing Director – Industrial, Distribution & Logistics at Winvic, added:  "Partnering with Greenbox has provided a fantastic opportunity to drive innovation in sustainable industrial development. We are immensely proud to have played a key role in delivering this Net Zero Carbon development, ensuring sustainability was embedded at every stage through active collaboration with our Green Supply Chain partners.”
