Benniman has clinched another major shed job at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal after Prologis UK handed the firm a next-generation cold store and logistics hub at the Northamptonshire rail freight powerhouse.

The 285,000 sq ft cross-docked unit, known as DC11, will pack in 48 docks, a 22m haunch height and extensive tenant enhancements, along with external amenity areas.

The job believed to be worth around £40m is designed to hit EPC A+, BREEAM Outstanding and net-zero carbon in construction and is being hailed as one of Prologis’ most sustainable distribution builds to date.

DC11 continues Benniman’s strong run on the estate, following its delivery of the 218,000 sq ft DC8 unit and taking its cumulative output for Prologis to more than 1m sq ft across multiple parks including Apex Park, Ryton and Wellingborough West.

Managing director Steven Smith said the repeat appointment underlined the strength of the firms’ long-running collaboration, adding that DC11 “showcases the combined focus we place on innovation, build quality and sustainability”.
