Mountpark breaks ground on Golden Triangle development
Mountpark has commenced construction of its new 1. 46 million sq ft logistics park, Mountpark Hinckley, located in the heart of the UK’s Golden Triangle. The milestone follows Mountpark securing approval of a complex hybrid planning application by Rugby Borough Council, Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council and Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council. Detailed consent has been granted for the devel- opment of a 491,926 sq ft unit, which has been pre-let to a major supermarket retailer.
Mountpark has appointed Winvic Construction to deliver the infra- structure and enabling works, as well as the vertical build of Unit 1, which is scheduled for practical completion in spring 2026. To support growing market demand, Mountpark has also submitted Reserved Matters Applications for the two remaining plots, which will offer 514,100 sq ft and 258,000 sq ft of high-spec logistics space respectively.
“This marks an exciting step forward with construction now underway on site at Mountpark Hinckley, following over five years of dedicated work by our planning team to bring the development to fruition,” said Tom Kilmister, Senior Development Director at Mountpark.
“This project reflects our commitment to unlocking new sites, our continued investment in the East Midlands’ logistics infrastructure and our ability to deliver high-quality space that supports market demand for our customers. The pre-letting of Unit 1 is a testament to our customer-focused approach, working closely with occupiers to deliver tailored solutions that align with their operational needs and long-term growth ambitions.”
Mountpark’s infrastructure work for the park will increase the height clearance of the A5 Watling Street bridge, addressing safety and reliability concerns for what was once dubbed ‘Britain’s most bashed bridge’.
The site is strategically positioned alongside the A5 with excellent connectivity to the M69, M1 and M6 motorways.
“Mountpark Hinckley will remove the long-standing low clearance issue of the infamous Watling Street bridge, a well-known bottleneck for freight and logistics traffic,” added Tom.
“By resolving this constraint, we will improve connectivity, reduce delays and enhance the overall efficiency of regional and national dis- tribution networks. This investment will not only benefit businesses operating within the park but also enhance the overall efficiency of the local and national road network.”
The development aims to prioritise responsible development, sus- tainability and community integration. Almost 50 percent of the site is expected to be allocated for green space, incorporating native hedgerows, trees, a new wetland, over 2. 5km of footpaths and a trim trail with outdoor fitness equipment. The properties will target EPC ‘A+’ ratings and BREEAM ‘Excellent’ accreditation, cre- ating an attractive landscaped environment that supports diverse wildlife habitats.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to this project so far,” added Harriet Moloney, Director of Planning and Responsible Development for Mountpark UK & Ireland.
“Liaising with three local authorities and three separate highways consultees added to the complexities, however we are delighted by the working relationship we formed with all stakeholders involved and appreciate the level of hard work and collaboration throughout the process.”
The balance of the scheme is being marketed by Colliers and Savills with units available from September 2026.
