Goodman has started construction of a 250,000 sq ft prime distribution and logistics space at Bedford Commercial Park in Bedford, UK.
The logistics units consist of 130,000 sq ft, 50,000 sq ft, 40,000 sq ft and 30,000 sq ft of space respectively. Goodman plans to complete in autumn 2021.
Phase two of development follows Goodman’s completion and leasing of Bedford 405, a 407,143 sq ft distribution warehouse at Bedford Commercial Park.
“We’re pleased to begin work on the next phase of development at Bedford Commercial Park. These latest units form part of our ongoing commitment to invest in high-specification, efficient and sustainable spaces in strategically-placed locations, providing customers with access to a large consumer-base and potential workforce,” said Nigel Dolan, Development Director at Goodman.

Adjacent to the A421, just seven miles from the M1 and 12 miles from the A1 Black Cat Roundabout, the mixed-use development has connectivity and access to a population of 15,400 seeking work within a 30-mile catchment area.
