Last week we officially broke ground at G Park, Swindon, marking the start of our latest project with valued repeat client, Graftongate.
The ceremony brought together representatives from Graftongate, Knight Webb, NFU Mutual, and Swindon Borough Council’s Inward Investment Team — providing a great opportunity to celebrate not only the beginning of construction, but also the strength of long-standing partnerships and the formation of new relationships across the wider project team.
A Milestone Moment on Site
As our third project with Graftongate in the last three years, G Park Swindon is another example of our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, future-ready industrial and logistics space.
Once complete, the development will provide an 80,920 sqft best-in-class industrial and logistics facility designed to meet modern occupier demands.
Key features include:
High-specification warehouse and CAT A office space
12.5m clear internal height
16 dock doors and 2 level access doors
Designed with Sustainability in Mind
Targeting BREEAM Very Good and EPC A, the scheme includes:
PV-ready infrastructure
EV charging
Natural daylighting
Sustainable transport and landscaping features
Works Underway
With earthworks, enabling works, and initial groundworks already well underway, the structure is scheduled to begin taking shape in August. It’s exciting to see the vision for G Park Swindon starting to become a reality.
Thank you to everyone involved so far — we look forward to sharing further progress as the project develops.
